The National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS) provides equipment free of charge to those patrons who need devices to play NLS audiobooks and magazines or read electronic braille materials. NLS also provides information for patrons who want or already have their own mobile devices or commercial equipment for using NLS materials. Network libraries circulate NLS playback equipment through the mail for free and can offer some assistance to patrons using their own mobile devices and other equipment.
