        I think your director is misinformed.  I called my local
library and they informed they that the library services the
blind and the PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED.  In N.C. contact the
        Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped
        N.C. Dept. of Cultural Resources Center
        1811 North Blvd.
        Raliegh, NC, 27635

Their 'phone number is
                800-662-7726

Library Services for the Blind and Physically Handicapped is a
federally funded program which is available in every state.  You
can arrange the service by phone and order books by phone which
you receive through the mail free of postage.  I am physically
handicapped and have been using the service for nearly 15 years.
