Who Can Benefit?

           Anyone who cannot read conventional newsprint could qualify for
this free service. Many seniors have lost enough vision that reading the
daily newspaper is no longer possible. They will enjoy being able once again
to participate actively in community affairs. Blind children are now able to
research their own civics assignments and do their homework independently.
NFB-NEWSLINER is the only service that makes so much information available
to these eligible people twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
