Wolfner Patron Manual

NFB-NEWSLINE^®

The National Federation of the Blind developed NFB-NEWSLINE® to be used by anyone who cannot read a printed newspaper because of a visual or physical disability. NFB-NEWSLINE® uses the latest digital technology to bring blind and visually impaired readers an easy-to-use telephone service that “reads” all the text from various newspapers across the country. Users need only a touch-tone phone and their personal identification numbers to access the nationwide, toll-free number. By following a touch-tone menu, the reader will be able to access different sections of the newspaper – the front page, the sports page, the business page, etc. You choose the newspaper and voice you prefer.

Applying for NFB-NEWSLINE® is as easy as a phone call, and there is no application or subscription fee. Call Wolfner Library at 1-800-392-2614 to request an application form; or, if you are a registered patron of Wolfner, our staff will complete your application over the phone. New users will receive a personal identification number (PIN) and a security code to gain access to NFB-NEWSLINE®.
