Below is an important message from the manager of the KY Talking Book
Library.  Please pass this on to anyone you think would be interested.

Dear Talking Book Library Patron:

Each year the Kentucky Talking Book Library receives federal grant money
from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Library
Services and Technology Act (LSTA).  This grant provides most of our
funding.  It also provides funding to other programs that support public
libraries around the state and country. 

The federal budget recently passed by the US House of Representatives
proposes to eliminate this funding.  If it were to be eliminated or
significantly reduced, the Kentucky Talking Book Library would no longer be
able to operate.   While the Library of Congress provides most of the books
and players to us, KTBL actually provides service and support to its users,
and ships players and books to them. There is not another organization in
Kentucky that can provide this same service.

Your action is needed.  Please email or call your Senators and
Representative by May 6 and urge them to them to support funding for the
Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and Library Services and
Technology Act (LSTA).  Tell them that this funding allows us to provide
Braille and Talking Book Library service in Kentucky, and how much it means
to you. 

Contact information below for all Kentucky congressmen can be found below.
