> 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.
