With the cooperation of composers and publishers who grant permission to use copyrighted works, the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) of the Library of Congress selects and produces music scores in braille and large-print formats, and music magazines and books about music and musicians in large-print, braille, and recorded formats. People interested in music materials receive them directly from NLS in Washington, D.C.; materials are sent to borrowers and returned to NLS by postage-free mail. Music patrons nationwide can call the NLS at a toll-free number. Anyone who is unable to read or use standard printed materials as a result of temporary or permanent visual or physical limitations may receive service. Six music magazines are offered by direct mail to eligible readers. The music collection, made up of about 30,000 books, scores, and instructional recordings, is a major resource for blind, partially sighted, and physically handicapped musicians, music students, and others who enjoy music. Materials in braille make up the largest portion of the collection. Enlarged scores with a minimum of 14-point type size and a staff size of one inch are available for voice, piano, and other instruments. The material on audio discs and cassettes includes music theory, appreciation, and history; biographical sketches of musicians and their art; interviews and master classes; and instruction for various instruments. Musical recordings intended solely for entertainment are not part of the free program. An order form is included, along with a checklist of materials. (AEF)
