Subject: [glcb] Support Kentucky Talking Book Library


> 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

> an online form you can fill out with your comments.  If you are not
> sure who your representative is, click on this link and enter your zip
