I believe it still is Tom but its confusing. I no longer take any books by
mail but if I did, they be mailed from Pittsburgh. But when I log into BARD,
Its the philly library thats mentioned at the bottom of the page. Go figure.

>> U.S. Currency Reader Program
>>
>> Here is updated information regarding the Currency Reader Project and

>>
>> As of January 2, 2015, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP)
>> Currency Reader project will be open to all citizens/legal residents
>> of the United States who are unable to read regular print because of
>> blindness or a visual impairment meeting the eligibility requirements.

>> On January 2, 2015, all individuals interested in receiving a

>> for a currency reader and mail it directly to BEP. Those who are
>> already NLS (National Library Service) patrons do not need to have
>> the BEP application certified but instead may merely check the box on
>> the BEP application indicating that they are already a certified NLS
patron.
>> BEP will review the currency reader applications and forward them to
>> NLS, which will handle fulfillment.
>>
>> Here are links to the application and how the library will be
>> assisting patrons requesting a currency reader:
>> 1. Refer them to either www.moneyfactory.gov/uscurrencyreaderform.html
>> or
>> loc.gov/nls/other/currencyreader/index.html, where they may print a
>> copy of the application
>> 2. Print a copy of the BEP application from either website and mail it

>> 3. Refer patrons to the BEP call center at 1-844-815-9388, from which
