[NFBF-Tampa] FW: Braille Calendars Soon Available From NLS

[Louise Peyton]

Noe and all:
Here is a response from the Daytona library regarding the calendars.  This is all I know.
Louise
Good morning,
I spoke with my supervisor. NLS will not be sending us any braille calendars. I believe there is 1 subregional branch that has sent braille calendars in the past. It is the Pinellas Talking Book Library. They are run by Pinellas County and only serve the patrons in Pinellas and Sarasota Counties. Since you reside in Hillsborough County, your servicing library is the Daytona Beach Branch. We are the main branch. I will include the phone number for the Pinellas branch, if you would like to reach out to them and ask if they have extra calendars, but I do not know if they will be able to help.  727-441-9958.

Hello chapter members.

I just received this, and thought I'd pass it along.

This notice is being shared with you so that you can contact your library to be subscribed for a braille calendar(s). Note that the calendars will not be available until mid-year. However, next year they should be available at the beginning of the year. You may provide the code listed in the notice to your library if they need it:
NLS will be producing two new braille calendars for 2023. The following are the circulation codes for the calendars:


  *   NLS Braille calendar, wall-sized, magazine code CAW1
  *   NLS Braille calendar, pocket-sized, magazine code CAP1

Calendars for 2023 are expected to be available by mid-July. Those calendars will extend through January 2024.

Going forward, subscribers will automatically receive new annual calendars when they are published.
