The National Library Service for Blind and Print Disabled 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: Via download to a personal device through the Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) app/website 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.
