The Minnesota Braille and Talking Book Library (MBTBL) provides direct library service to Minnesotans with print disabilities. The MBTBL is a network library within the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS), a program sponsored by the Library of Congress.

The library is funded through Minnesota state general funds and Federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant money from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Library materials are sent free of charge by the U.S. Postal Service. Patrons can request library materials through the online library catalog, as well as by telephone, email, and/or postal mail. A large number of books and magazines are also available to download from Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD).

IMPORTANT NEWS

The Minnesota Braille and Talking Book Library has relocated from Faribault to the Minnesota Department of Education in Minneapolis. Read about the move in our Relocation Newsletter.

Since 1933, MBTBL has worked in partnership with the NLS, which administers a free national library program--sponsored by the Library of Congress--for visually and physically disabled persons. The program was established by an act of Congress in 1931. Over time, federal mandates have expanded the definition of people eligible for service. The current federal regulations for this program are outlined in the Federal Register for June 7, 1974, as amended October 2, 1981.

The NLS selects and produces full-length books and magazines in both audio and braille formats. Such library materials are distributed to a network of designated libraries throughout the United States which, in turn, circulate them to eligible customers within their respective states.

Sponsored by Rep. Cedrick Frazier (DFL-New Hope), HF4373, as amended, would prohibit public and school libraries in Minnesota from banning, removing, or otherwise restricting access to a book or other material based on viewpoints or the messages, ideas or opinions the book or material conveys.

Approved on a split-voice vote by the House Education Policy Committee Wednesday, the bill will be sent to the House Judiciary Finance and Civil Law Committee.Proposal prohibiting book banning heard in committee 3/13/24

He noted that the bill would not limit the rights of a parent, guardian, or an adult student to request a child not be allowed access to certain books, which is similar to the policy on instructional materials.

The bill would allow any person injured by a violation of the book ban to bring a civil action against the public library, school district, charter school, or public postsecondary institution for injunctive relief and attorney fees. In addition to all other damages, the court may impose a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per violation. If it is determined that an action brought is frivolous and without merit, the court may award reasonable costs and attorney fees to the defendant.

Books For Africa appreciates all book donations. It costs BFA 50 cents to ship each book to Africa. Consider making a financial donation to cover the costs of shipping the books you donate. Please send financial donations separately in an envelope to the BFA office: Books For Africa, 717 Prior Ave N., Ste. B, St. Paul, MN 55104, USA. Or make a donation online.

If you mail books, please do not send boxes that weight more than 50 pounds and do not include any non-recyclable packing materials such as plastic bubble wrap or peanuts. Books For Africa cannot allocate funds for the mailing or shipping of book donations to our warehouses. This helps us keep our operating costs lower so that we can ship more and more books to students who need them.

If you are interested in getting confirmation of when your books arrive at the warehouse, we recommend asking USPS for tracking on your package! Because the BFA warehouse receives and sorts thousands of pounds of books every week, relying on volunteers to do so, we may not be able to locate and confirm receipt of specific individual packages.

We encourage Book Drive Captains to also collect money to help get book donations to the Books For Africa warehouse. Please contact b...@booksforafrica.org for our Book Drive Media Kit to help with your book drive!

(a) A shareholder, beneficial owner, or a holder of a voting trust certificate of a corporation that is not a publicly held corporation has an absolute right, upon written demand, to examine and copy, in person or by a legal representative, at any reasonable time, and the corporation shall make available within ten days after receipt by an officer of the corporation of the written demand:

(b) A shareholder, beneficial owner, or a holder of a voting trust certificate of a corporation that is not a publicly held corporation has a right, upon written demand, to examine and copy, in person or by a legal representative, other corporate records at any reasonable time only if the shareholder, beneficial owner, or holder of a voting trust certificate demonstrates a proper purpose for the examination.

(c) A shareholder, beneficial owner, or a holder of a voting trust certificate of a publicly held corporation has, upon written demand stating the purpose and acknowledged or verified in the manner provided in chapter 358, a right at any reasonable time to examine and copy the corporation's share register and other corporate records reasonably related to the stated purpose and described with reasonable particularity in the written demand upon demonstrating the stated purpose to be a proper purpose. The acknowledged or verified demand must be directed to the corporation at its registered office in this state or at its principal place of business.

On application of the corporation, a court in this state may issue a protective order permitting the corporation to withhold portions of the records of proceedings of the board for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 12 months, in order to prevent premature disclosure of confidential information which would be likely to cause competitive injury to the corporation. A protective order may be renewed for successive reasonable periods of time, each not to exceed 12 months and in total not to exceed 36 months, for good cause shown. In the event a protective order is issued, the statute of limitations for any action which the shareholder, beneficial owner, or holder of a voting trust certificate might bring as a result of information withheld automatically extends for the period of delay. If the court does not issue a protective order with respect to any portion of the records of proceedings as requested by the corporation, it shall award reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees and disbursements, to the shareholder, beneficial owner, or holder of a voting trust certificate. This subdivision does not limit the right of a court to grant other protective orders or impose other reasonable restrictions on the nature of the corporate records that may be copied or examined under subdivision 4 or the use or distribution of the records by the demanding shareholder, beneficial owner, or holder of a voting trust certificate.

A shareholder, beneficial owner, or holder of a voting trust certificate who has gained access under this section to any corporate record including the share register may not use or furnish to another for use the corporate record or a portion of the contents for any purpose other than a proper purpose. Upon application of the corporation, a court may issue a protective order or order other relief as may be necessary to enforce the provisions of this subdivision.

Copies of the share register and all documents referred to in subdivision 2, if required to be furnished under this section, shall be furnished at the expense of the corporation. In all other cases, the corporation may charge the requesting party a reasonable fee to cover the expenses of providing the copy.

The records maintained by a corporation, including its share register, financial records, and minute books, may utilize any information storage technique, including, for example, punched holes, printed or magnetized spots, or micro-images, even though that makes them illegible visually, if the records can be converted accurately and within a reasonable time, into a form that is legible visually and whose contents are assembled by related subject matter to permit convenient use by people in the normal course of business. A corporation shall convert any of the records referred to in subdivision 4 upon the request of a person entitled to inspect them, and the expense of the conversion shall be borne by the person who bears the expense of copying pursuant to subdivision 5. A copy of the conversion is admissible in evidence, and shall be accepted for all other purposes, to the same extent as the existing or original records would be if they were legible visually.
