[nfbwatlk] ERRS

[debby phillips]

I just received this from Danielle Miller and received permission 
to forward.  This action was taken without PAC knowledge, which I 
find a little irritating, despite her explanation.  Guess I'm a 
cynic, I think people knew about this but didn't want to deal 
with any negative response.    Debby

Hi, PAC - most people have been informed about ERRS and I just 
sent a message to our listserv.  At this point, you are welcome 
to share this information - the message is below.  As I mentioned 
before, this decision was not in the works at our last PAC 
meeting.  Thank you, Danielle


As some of you may know, the Evergreen Radio Reading Service 
(ERRS) lost its funding at the end of 2011, and has since been 
operating in a severely diminished capacity.  The closure of ERRS 
is a great loss to the community and Washington Talking Book & 
Braille Library (WTBBL) patrons, however it has become extremely 
difficult to keep the station operating without funding and 
staffing.

On August 15, ERRS will cease broadcast so that resources can be 
directed to the rest of WTBBL patron services.

Please contact the library to get more information on NLS 
magazines 
(http://www.loc.gov/nls/reference/circulars/magazines.html) and 
NFB Newsline (http://nfbnewslineonline.org/) to meet your timely 
information needs.

If you have questions, please call Danielle or David at (800) 
542-0866.
