What does NLS stand for?

The project is expected to conclude in 2012 when it will be handed over to the Botswana National Library Services.

Working with partners such as national library services, the books are sent to libraries and resource centres in communities, schools and universities, cities, villages, refugee camps, prisons and slums.

The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) of the Library of Congress--a free library program of braille and audio materials circulated to eligible visually impaired borrowers in the United States--recently launched its new online Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) service; available: <http://nlsbard.

THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT The national government, through the Ministry of Education, formulated a plan for library services for the period 1997 to 2006 including the following: (a) The national library service shall continue to take all steps as may be necessary to establish, equip, manage and maintain libraries in Sierra Leone (b) The day-to-day running of the National Library Service shall be under the administration of a staff, headed by a qualified librarian, designated as Chief Librarian (c) A National Bibliographic Agency shall be established.

In fact, the National Library Service distributed millions of these audio books to blind people across the US.

There are so many activities for the public to join in that the national library service has produced a novel booklet telling all about them.

The RNIB's National Library Service is determined to change this dismal situation and to widen the number, and variety, of available books.

In later years the National Library Service provided a much needed public-service for blind citizens across America by recording millions of books in an audio format.
