Dear Wolfner Library Reader,

Good news! Wolfner Library is in the final weeks of the NLS digital 
system prelaunch. Our hard-working machine staff received 500 NLS 
digital players in early May and distributed them to Missourians in 
three days.  Wolfner circulation staff then matched the machine 
department by adding 37 copies of the 54 Sampler digital books in 
record time, so Missourians were some of the first in the nation to 
experience reading NLS digital books on new digital players.

Missouri benefited by receiving 350 additional digital players when a 
prelaunch library was unable to fulfill its obligation in the 
program-unfortunate for them, but good for us!  As of this date, 850+ 
Missourians are participating in the prelaunch program.

Our staff's efficiency in distributing digital prelaunch materials to 
patrons impressed the NLS staff so much that they selected Wolfner to 
be one of four prelaunch libraries to participate in the final 
"quality assurance" phase. In July, Wolfner will receive 720 digital 
players so that more than 1,500 Missourians will be using the new NLS 
digital player.

Regular shipments of books in digital format are expected to begin in 
July and the initial distribution nationwide of NLS digital talking 
book players will start in August.  If you would like to be part of 
the testing of the new and easy to use digital player call your 
reader advisor now and ask to be put on the list for a digital player.

What an exciting time to be a patron of Wolfner Library!

Sincerely,

Richard J. Smith, Director

>Hello all.  Many of your are aware that I took my girls to Iowa City
