For Those Who Live In The US (or Are American Citizens Living Oversees) And Have Any Kind Of Physical

For those who live in the US (or are American citizens living oversees) and have any kind of physical or learning disability that impacts their ability to read standard text, the National Library Service provides free access to books and magazines in both Braille and audio formats. (Access is digital or they will mail you a physical format)

I know audio doesn't work for everyone and some really need the large print format but hopefully this info can help some people. Also check with your local (usually state level) branch of this service, they might have large print books also.

There is an application and you do need to have it signed off by a certifying authority who can confirm your disability but if you don't have a medical professional or social worker who can sign off you can get a librarian to do so.

This seems like a good time to remind folks: if you are upset at the decision re: the Internet Archive's "Open Library," but you don't have a direction to send that energy, maybe consider seeing what you can do to support and defend your local public and/or school library?

If you live in the U.S., there is a good chance that politicians and/or right-wing activists are threatening your local libraries. This may be through new state laws, or through actions by local officials, or even the library boards themselves. Or maybe they are enduring a wave of book challenges by some very enthusiastic and determined bigots.

It's worth checking out what is going on in your area, and if there are any existing groups and organizations working to fight back that you can join or support. (Or maybe even start something yourself!)
