That All May Read

The National Library Service for Blind and Print Disabled, Library of Congress, provides reading materials at no cost to individuals whose temporary or permanent low vision, blindness, physical disability, or other disability makes it difficult to read regular print. Services are administered through a network of cooperating libraries across the United States. NLS readers may receive materials in two ways: by downloading to a personal device through the Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) online service or through the United States Postal Service. In either case, there is no charge. The service is available to all U.S. residents and citizens living abroad.

NLS works to ensure that all may read by providing eligible patrons access to reading material regardless of age, economic circumstances, or technical expertise. Share the gift of reading and spread the word about NLS, so that all may read.
