Who may use the Talking Books Services?
Persons who are unable to read or use standard printed materials due to visual problems such as blindness, legal blindness or low vision are eligible. Additionally, persons with physical disabilities such as missing arms or hands, lack of muscle coordination, prolonged weakness, or physically based reading disabilities (such as dyslexia) are eligible. An application with disability certification is required. Persons who are able to see and are physically able to hold books but simply cannot read are not eligible for Talking Books. These individuals should contact their local public library for referral to a local area literacy association.
