[Ohio-talk] bard site

[Barbara Pierce via Ohio-talk]

			I know that the NFB 
appoints a representative to an LLS committee. That person chairs the NFB Library Committee, which meets at convention. I think that those committee members of the NLS committee have some say about book choice. But there are people who do nothing but choose the books to be recorded. I suggest that you ask Will Reed of the Cleveland Library what he knows about the process. I do know that we have been told to give him our requests for old books to be released. I have tried this with no success as far as I can tell. I used to snag Frank Curt Silk at convention and plead with him directly for books that I wanted. That had a bit more chance of success. But since Karen does not bother to come to our convention or make herself known if she is there, that strategy does not work.
