Transcript of NLS Video

VOICEOVER: From the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

HERB: One of the most difficult things I had to deal with when I learned I had impaired my vision was that I wouldn't be able to read. When people alerted me to the Library of Congress program, I realized I could listen.

MARY: There's all kinds of formats that you can choose from. You can choose from large print or braille or audio. What I love about the audio books is that I could be cooking and I could be listening to a book.

MELANIE: I love audio books, but there are times when, for me, for a number of reasons, I just like to be able to feel the braille under my fingers.

YASMIN: The books, they come in the mail. The mailman drops them in my mailbox. I have a big mailbox for that purpose.

PETE: The equipment is loaned to you by the library. And when you finish reading a book, you turn the mailing card over, and it goes straight back.

EDDIE: The NLS has pretty much anything you'd possibly want to read, from fiction to educational materials.

TERIANA: It has expanded my horizon because I'm trying to learn some more.

PETE: Everybody can read the way they want to read using this program.
