We are proud to announce that our Talking Book Services audio production of South Carolina Wildlife magazine has been accepted for national distribution by the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS)! This means that anyone who is an NLS patron will be able to subscribe to and listen to the South Carolina Wildlife magazine.

The NLS screening process is rigorous, and very few regional libraries have magazines accepted for national distribution, which adds to our excitement about sharing South Carolina Wildlife with the nation. South Carolina Wildlife magazine is published by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
