I can't believe they're out; why not call NLS in DC and complain
directly.
Also, the schedules used to be up on web braille but don't think they've
updated them for this year yet.

Hi,
I tried to get a Mariners schedule from MLB.com and it was a stupid
pdf and
it just said "empty document." So how do I get a schedule?
I asked the Library for one in braille, but they are out. I needed to
ask
sooner I guess.
Thanks
Lauren
