You can apply for SALB services by requesting an application online or directly contacting the SALB network library that serves your state or locality. You can also complete a printable application form and send it to your NLS network library. Applications are available in English. A family member or friend can fill out an application for you. The application must be signed by a competent authority. To learn more, review the eligibility requirements. The network library will contact you to confirm your enrollment and provide further information on equipment, reading material, and services. Assisted living communities, schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, libraries, and other facilities with a number of eligible users can apply for SALB services as an institution.
Do you play an instrument or want to learn one? The NLS Music collection includes braille and large-print scores, recorded instructional materials, and recorded materials about music and musicians. Learn more about what’s available in the Music collection and how to request music materials.
