[Nfbmt] Library

[d m gina]

Oh you will I know.
If I remember correctly you let the folks know you have a stream by 
calling the bookshare persons.
You are given a number, that goes into the stream.
this was how it was done.
I don't have a stream now sense I read from other devices.
Jim really can help you out.
He helped Jeff.
