The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) reminds patrons that many new magazine titles will be added to the program beginning in January 1998. The complete list appears in the Magazines section of this issue and includes information about the number of issues and format of each title.
Patrons will soon be able to select and order NLS catalogs and bibliographies that will be issued in 1997 and 1998. A large-print order form will be mailed early this fall to patrons who subscribe to TBT. The form will give patrons the opportunity to order upcoming publications, such as Adventure Stories, Cassette Books 1997, and For Younger Readers 1996-1997. Catalogs and bibliographies ordered will be sent directly to patrons when the publications are produced.
The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) presented its eleventh Alexander Scourby Narrator of the Year Awards to honor excellence in talking-book narration. AFB awarded prizes to narrators for three categories: fiction, nonfiction, and multilingual nonfiction.
The award-winning narrators are Mary Woods, Talking Book Publishers, Inc., for fiction; Jack Fox, American Printing House for the Blind, for nonfiction; and Ed Blake, AFB, for multilingual nonfiction. The annual Scourby Award was established in 1986 in memory of the popular talking-book narrator who died in 1985.
