>> UPDATE
>> U.S. Currency Reader Program
>>
>> Here is updated information regarding the Currency Reader Project and
>> a change in how the currency readers can be ordered.
>>
>> 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
>> currency reader will need to complete and submit a BEP application 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
>> to
>> patrons (postage is required)
>> 3.   Refer patrons to the BEP call center at 1-844-815-9388, from which
>> they
>> may request a print copy of the application
