All Michigan Residents...
who cannot see or read regular print due to a physical disability are eligible to receive free reading materials from a statewide network of libraries. There is no charge for the services, not even a cost to mail materials to and from the library. This program is made possible by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.

Eligiblility
Libraries in the network loan materials to adults and children who cannot read regular print because they are:

• legally blind
• visually impaired
• unable to hold a book or turn pages
• unable to read because of a reading disability resulting from an organic dysfunction
