Well, Illinois has a contract with them, and no one, at any time, has even referred to having to pay a fee. I got a brochure from them in the mail when this started, and it instructed me to have my affiliate NLS library register me with them. That is all I know, just my own experience. They said nothing about the state or anyone else paying a fee.

I had not been on the klas web site for a long time. I have the colorado talking book library web site as my home page. I think all libraries that are on the nls system are hooked up with klas. Colorado just started building up their braille book collection. We used to have to get braille books from Utah. It cost $50 per patron. The state who was having Utah send their blind patrons paid it if the person was already receiving braille books when their state library started having their patrons get braille books from Utah. I know for a fact that the local nls libraries would ask their new patrons to pay the $50 if they wanted to receive braille books. Rita
