GLS Patron Profile

Georgia Library Service (GLS) for the Blind and Print Disabled (formerly known as GLASS - Georgia Libraries for Accessible Statewide Services) provides library material in various formats (such as talking book cartridges and Braille) to people who are unable to read or handle standard printed material as a result of temporary or permanent visual or physical disabilities. Certain PINES library materials not traditionally provided by GLS (namely, large print books and DVDs with descriptive audio tracks) are eligible for free home delivery via the United States Postal Service’s Free Matter for the Blind program. GLS and PINES are now working together to provide eligible PINES materials to GLS patrons via mail using this program.
