Whether for escape

Whether for escape, enlightenment, or pure joy, books allow us to hook up with other places and times. Fortunately for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who've impaired vision or a bodily incapacity, there are braille and speaking books from NLS.

NLS is the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, part of the Library of Congress. Established in 1931, the organization’s project is to enhance the lives of its customers with the aid of imparting them books, magazines, song scores, and other materials in audio and braille at no charge. Unlike traditional audiobooks that are provided at public libraries or offered at retail bookstores, audiobooks offered with the aid of NLS are unabridged, massive and diverse, and are designed mainly for folks that are not able to read normal print.

NLS gives its offerings to any U.S. Resident or U.S. Citizen dwelling abroad who's blind, has low imaginative and prescient, or has a physical disability that makes it difficult to keep a book. Thousands of bestsellers, classics, biographies, nonfiction works, and more may be downloaded from the Internet or ordered for home delivery through a nationwide community of cooperating libraries.

Those with cerebral palsy, a couple of sclerosis, loss of using their palms or hands, or extended weakness can access the NLS collection. So, too, can humans with temporary limitations due to strokes or accidents.

Now avid readers like San Francisco resident Ivana Kirola, 38, who suffers from cerebral palsy, can continue to satisfy their interests, which for Kirola range from politics, to travel, to song.

“I genuinely appreciate the offerings from NLS,” Kirola says. “They assist me in my day by day life, in understanding human beings and keeping up to date with the news. My favorite a part of NLS is the widened horizons that reading audiobooks gives to me.”

Along together with her love of books, Kirola attends a yoga elegance at the San Francisco Library—one of NLS’s regional partners.

“The factor that has helped me is to stay persistent in what I would like to experience,” says Kirola. “Sometimes what you need is elusive, however it’s crucial no longer to present up. There are solutions for everything, however every so often it takes staying power to discover what they are
