Services for the Blind or Visually Impaired
The Wolfner Library is located in Jefferson City, Missouri, and helps get books and other materials for the visually impaired. They allow people who are blind and other print-disabled to loan library materials. The National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS) has a website that can be download called Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) that provided access to NLS braille and audiobooks, magazines, and music scores. People must be a patron of NLS to sign up for BARD. The program is free for any person that falls within the requirements. To apply for the free service, individuals must fill out an application that the Moniteau County Library has. The application requires the individual to provide certified information. The information can be gathered from the following people: Doctor of Medicine, doctor of osteopathy, ophthalmologist, psychologist, therapist, and more. In the application, people can choose to read using BARD or have books sent to them.
