Register by calling the Wolfner Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped at 800-392-2614  or visit the Wolfner  Web site (http://www.sos.mo.gov/wolfner).  For more information, you can also call the National Federation of the Blind toll-free at 1 (866) 504-7300 to request an application.  You may also download an application in PDF format or fill out our online form to register by visiting www.nfbnewsline.org.  After your registration is processed, you’ll receive a letter containing your activation codes and instructions for how to begin reading the newspaper with NFB-NEWSLINE®..
