Amplifiers, however, require a separate application signed by a doctor. The library newsletter, Tar Heel Talk , is provided quarterly to patrons and is available in all formats. This includes anyone whose visual impairment, either permanent or temporary, cannot be corrected with eye glasses. Persons with a physical disability preventing them from turning pages or holding a book are also included. In addition, certain learning disabilities may qualify.
Facilities serving qualified persons, such as schools and nursing homes, are also eligible.
There are no postal charges for sending our library materials through the mail. This form will give detailed information on who is eligible, what is available, and how to complete the application. You must have your application signed by a competent authority who is not a family member. In the absence of any of these, certification may be made by professional librarians or any person whose competence under specific circumstances is acceptable to the Library of Congress. In case of reading disability from organic dysfunction, competent authority is defined as doctors of medicine who may consult with colleagues in associated disciplines.
