The Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) provides free talking books and braille materials to eligible individuals (those with visual or physical impairments that preclude them from reading standard print books) and organizations through a national network of regional libraries. Services include reading materials that can be downloaded online and sent through the mail and free equipment to play the materials. NLS is currently conducting a survey to understand how to better serve the needs of readers of talking books and braille.

NLS is looking for participants who do not currently use the NLS program. The 25 minute survey is designed to learn more about participants’ experiences with talking books and braille, what types of talking book and braille materials and services they are looking for, and what NLS can do to get them interested in the free Library of Congress NLS talking book and braille program. Answers to the survey questions will be kept confidential. If you know of patients, friends, family members, or colleagues who may be eligible for the NLS program but do not use the program, please ask them to go to www.LibraryOfCongressSurvey.com to take the survey online or to learn more about it. Or, have them call 1-866-545-1618 to schedule a time to take the survey over the phone. The survey ends on May 10.
