Borrow Braille Library Books
Thanks to a partnership between GLS and the Utah State Library Program for the Blind & Disabled, GLS patrons can borrow books from among the more than 20,000 hard copy braille titles in the Utah collection. Talk to a GLS Reader Advisor at 1-800-248-6701 to establish or confirm your access to this service.
NLS Braille On Demand
Active GLS patrons can now request and receive up to five hard-copy braille titles per month, which are theirs to keep. Any braille book available on BARD is eligible to be produced in hard copy by this program. Books are mailed directly to the patron.
Complete the NLS Braille On Demand Request Form to place your order. If you need help completing the form, call GLS at 1-800-248-6701 toll free, Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Subscribe to Braille Calendars
NLS produces braille calendars in two sizes: a large wall calendar and a small pocket-sized calendar. GLS patrons may subscribe to one or both calendars at no cost. This is similar to subscribing to a magazine. Once you are subscribed, you will receive the calendar every year unless you stop your subscription. Each month will feature a book in the NLS Collection.
To begin receiving the annual braille calendar from NLS, call 800-248-6701 and ask a GLS Reader Advisor to add the calendar subscription(s) to your account.
