NLS stands for which service described as free braille and talking book library reserve?

• A. National Library Service- free braille and talking book library reserve
• B. National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled
• C. National Library Service- Books for the Blind
• D. National Library Society

Answer: (A)

NLS refers to a Library of Congress program that provides free braille and talking books to people who cannot read standard print due to a visual or physical disability. The official expansion is National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled. This name reflects who is served (the blind and those with print disabilities) and the scope of the service, which includes braille, large-print, and talking-book materials. The description “free braille and talking book library” aligns with what the service offers, but the formal title specifies the audience and formats more precisely. Other phrasings may describe the function, but they don’t represent the official name of the program.
