I know I was asked if I would pay a $50 fee when Colorado first got a contract
with them but I wasn't required to; the state picked it up. I do know of
speciffic instances where people moving in to the state both colorado and
Wisconsin where the person was asked to pay a fee. I am very glad Colorado
started building their own collection. It has only been in the last few years;
I moved out of state for a few years and discovered we were building our own
collection when I moved back.

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.

Hi all
I was curious to see how many nls libraries were on klas. 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.
