NH Talking Book Services
Through a network of
cooperating libraries, The Library of Congress/National Library Service for theBlind and Physically Handicapped (NLS), administers a free library service for
individuals who are unable to read or use standard print materials because of a
visual or physical disability. Any resident of the United States or U.S.
citizen living abroad who is unable to read or use standard print materials as
a result of temporary or permanent visual or physical disability is eligible
for these services.
In New Hampshire, this
service is administered by the State Library’s Talking Book Services (TBS)
section. Readers register with TBS through an application process. They then
receive a player for the audio books, have access to the over 32,000 books in
the TBS collection, and can download books from the BARD to either their
computers or their mobile devices. Braille books are also available, as well as
print/braille books popular with low vision teachers. TBS provides materials to
individuals, and to institutions such as schools, nursing homes, and assisted
living facilities.
