Thanks for sharing my friend SGT (Join to see) that the Veterans Administration has "recently partnered with the Library of Congress to promote the Braille and Talking Book Program for Veterans. The program which is administered by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped and sponsored by the Library of Congress is already being used at many VA facilities across the country.
Through a national network of cooperating libraries, the program offers books in a number of formats: Braille, audio, mailed to your door, or instantly downloadable. Although this service is available to any United States resident, honorably discharged Veterans who meet the eligibility requirements have preference in the lending of materials and equipment. Eligibility Veterans are those with an honorable discharge, blind, have low vision, or have a physical disability that prevents them from reading regular print materials. The program, designed to promote independence , improve wellness and the quality of life, is currently used by about 500,000."
