The Talking Book & Braille Service provides free books and magazines on cassette and in Braille to individuals with a visual or physical condition or a reading disability which limits use of regular print. Our transition to digital books and digital players is now in progress. Check back soon for more information about digital talking books and digital players.
Our collection of books and magazines is similar to those found in a public library. Special cassette players are also provided free of charge. Our Descriptive Video Collection offers audio description of the visual elements of movie and Public Television program videos and DVDs.
Books, magazines, videos, and players are mailed to and from our library postage-free.
This service is available to individuals, as well as schools and other facilities, such as nursing homes, hospitals and senior citizen centers.
In addition to the free services mentioned above, we provide audio production, audio tape duplication and Braille embossing to nonprofit organizations and governmental agencies.
