NLS on the Move: The latest on our new initiatives In July 2017, NLS launched a newsletter called NLS on the Move to keep the staff in our national network of cooperating libraries updated on the progress of pilot projects and other new initiatives. Selections from this newsletter that may be of interest to NLS patrons are reprinted in Talking Book Topics and Braille Book Review. Page 5 of 108 From NLS on the Move, originally published February 28, 2019 NLS prepares to implement Marrakesh Treaty Earlier this month, the United States officially became a party to the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled, joining 48 other countries and the 28-member European Union. Among other things, the treaty makes it easier for organizations such as NLS that serve people with visual impairments and print disabilities to share books in accessible formats across international borders. The Marrakesh Treaty fully takes effect in the United States on May 8. We have been working with other offices within the Library of Congress and the Legislative Branch to determine the full implications of the treaty and how it will impact NLS and network libraries. Newsstand The following announcement may be of interest to readers. The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped reserves the right to publish announcements selectively, as space permits. The item mentioned, however, is not part of the NLS program, and its listing does not imply endorsement or support. Prices and details about listed items were correct at the time of compilation but are subject to change. Free accessible touch typing tutor available online Patrons wishing to learn to touch type or improve their skills may find Rocky’s Audio Typing TutorV2 of interest. The program, which is free to download online, features finger exercises, word exercises, and whole sentence exercises and offers the ability to adjust audio speeds, audio voice, audio volumes, color contrast, and font size. It supports screen readers and is designed for blind and visually impaired computer users. For more information, visit www.rockywaters.co.uk/softwarePage.php. Page 6 of 108 Books for Adults Books listed in this issue of Talking Book Topics were recently sent to cooperating libraries. The complete collection contains a wide range of fiction and nonfiction books, including biographies, classics, westerns, mysteries, romances, and others. Registered users may also immediately download all titles and magazines from the NLS Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) service at https://nlsbard.loc.gov. The free BARD Mobile app is available from the App Store, Google Play, and Amazon’s Appstore for reading talking books on your personal smart phone or tablet. To learn more about the collection or to sign up for BARD, contact your local cooperating library. Regional library telephone numbers and email addresses are listed on the last pages of this magazine. Books within the headings Adult Fiction and Adult Nonfiction are listed alphabetically by subject category, author last name, and title. For example the title War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy would be listed in Adult Fiction under the Classics subject category and by the last name Tolstoy. Note: A notice may appear immediately following the book description to indicate occurrences of violence, strong language, or descriptions of sex. The word “some” before any of these terms indicates an occasional or infrequent occurrence, as in “some strong language.” Commercial audiobooks for which NLS does not have access to the print book may display the notice “unrated,” which means that the book may or may not contain violence, strong language, or descriptions of sex.

  • Scattergories 4 Questions by Will Nediger, Jinah Kim, and Joey Goldman Round 6
    Scattergories 4 Questions by Will Nediger, JinAh Kim, and Joey Goldman Round 6 1. An Eavan [AY-ven] Boland poem named for one of these things says that “an ageing woman finds no shelter in language” and that “[one of these things] is not a woman.” One of these things titles a theatrical monologue by Olwen Fouéré [fwair-AY] which adapts passages from a novel. A character who personifies one of these things is the subject of a chapter which begins with the words “O tell me all about [that character]” in the shape of a triangle, and ends with a request for stories about her children Shaun and (*) Shem. The names of hundreds of these things are referenced in a chapter about the gossip of two washerwomen who turn into a tree and a stone when night falls. The word for these things is implied to follow the words “a way a lone a last a loved a long the.” Anna Livia Plurabelle’s middle name references one of these geographical features. For 10 points, Finnegans Wake opens by describing what type of geographical feature running “past Eve and Adam’s”? ANSWER: rivers [accept riverrun; anti-prompt on “Liffey” by asking what the Liffey is] (The Boland poem is called “Anna Liffey” and the Fouéré play is called riverrun.) <WN> 2. A “madame” named after this author runs a brothel at which theology is secretly discussed in Ada Palmer’s Terra Ignota series, in which this author is called the Patriarch. A writer whose pseudonym is a contracted combination of this author and the town where this author lived secretly arranged for Thomas Jefferson to translate his radical book Ruins of Empires, from which the monster in Frankenstein learns history.
