Sntuana Jstfate Etbrarp BOOKS IN EMBOSSED TYPE W. E. HENRY, State Librarian. _ /• JANUARY, 1906 i'brartj O 'Xl' & ^ Indiana §>tate library BOOKS IN EMBOSSED TYPE JANUARY, 1906 The collection of books in embossed type in the State Library being as complete as it can be made at present, this list is issued to apprise the blind people of the State of its scope. Any assistance in bringing this library to the attention of those for whom it is intended will be duly appreciated both by these persons and the State Library. We quote below in full the order of the Postmaster-General governing the transmission through the mails of books in embossed print, and we trust each interested person may read it carefully, as it is the best guide to the proper preparation of books for shipment. Books in embossed print will be carried through the mails free under proper label, which will always be furnished by the State Library, but when mail is delivered by a walking carrier these books can not be deliv¬ ered, but notice will be sent the party to call at the local office for the ; book. In the city of Indianapolis, borrowers will send directly to the State Library for the books, and return them to the State Library, as nothing would be gained by sending them to ihe postoffice. ORDER OF THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL. Office of the Postmaster-General, Washington, D. C., June 2, 1904. Order No. 541. Chapter 2, Title III, of the Postal Laws and Regulations is hereby amended by the addition of the following subdivision: H READING MATTER FOR THE BLIND. Sec. 518J. Books, pamphlets, and other reading matter in raised characters, for the use of the blind, whether prepared by hand or printed, in single volumes, not exceeding ten pounds in weight, or in packages not exceeding four pounds in weight, and containing no advertising or other matter whatever, unsealed, and when sent by public institutions for the blind, or by any public libraries, as a loan to blind readers, or when re¬ turned by the latter to such institutions or public libraries, shall be trans¬ mitted in the United States mails free of postage, and under such regula¬ tions as the Postmaster-General may prescribe. 2 2 . Reading matter in raised characters for the use of the blind, to be entitled to transmission in the mails free of postage, must not contain any advertising or other matter whatever, and must in every case be sent by or returned to a public library or public institution for the blind. 3. When mailed by a public library or public institution for the blind, the matter must be sent as a loan to a blind reader. When mailed for return to a public library or public institution for the blind, the sender must be a blind reader. 4. The matter must be wrapped so that it may be easily examined. 5. No package is to weigh more than four pounds, except in case of a single volume, and it must not exceed ten pounds in weight. 6. On the upper left hand corner of the envelope or wrapper contain¬ ing the matter the name and address of the sender must appear, and on the upper right hand corner the word “Free” over the words “Reading Matter for the Blind.” Note.— Letters written in point print or raised characters used by the blind are not included in the reading matter entitled, under the provisions of this section, to free transmission in the mails. H. C. PAYNE, Postmaster-General. (See U. S. Official Postal Guide, 1905, p. 996.) RULES FOR LENDING BOOKS IN EMBOSSED PRINT. 1. Any blind person in the State may borrow from the State Library any book in embossed print belonging to the State Library without any cost whatever. 2. Each borrower must sign a registration card, which will be fur¬ nished by the State Library, the same to be signed also by some responsi¬ ble person, who will make good any loss incurred by the State in lending books to said applicant. 3. Any book may be retained by a borrower for a period of one month, at the end of which time the loan may be renewed for an addi¬ tional month at the request of the borrower, provided that the same book has not been called for by another borrower in the meantime. 4. All books must be returned when due unless a renewal request is sent before the date of return. 5. Any violation of any of these rules will necessitate the with¬ drawal of the borrowing privilege from the person violating the same. SUGGESTIONS TO BORROWERS. Please indicate on the registration card the kinds of embossed type that you can read. For your own convenience, make more than one selection when in¬ quiring for books. In returning books be sure to use the same wrappings in which they were sent, and attach the label which will be found in the book pocket in the back of every book loaned.
