As mandated by Public Law 89-522 dated July 30, 1966, The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Library of Congress (NLS), provides reading materials in recorded and braille formats to U.S. residents and U.S. citizens living abroad who are unable to use conventional print materials because of visual and physical limitations. Each year, more than 23 million books and magazines are circulated to these groups. Reading materials (books and magazines) are produced by contractors for NLS, and are distributed to a readership in excess of 700,000 through a network of over 135 regional and sub-regional libraries for blind and physically handicapped individuals. States, municipalities, or other agencies operate these organizations. In addition, books are distributed to schools, multi-state centers, and veterans? hospitals throughout the nation and U.S. territories. Currently, the Library of Congress requires the production of braille books in accordance with this IFB and the NLS Specifications #410 (Mailing Carton Labels) and #800 (Braille Books and Pamphlets) incorporated herein (Section J) and made a part hereof, and any ?Special Instructions? issued with titles during performance of contract.
