Braille and Talking Book Library

The Braille and Talking Book Library (BTBL) has braille and audio book titles similar to what you would find at your public library. BTBL also offers magazines, movies, newspapers and more! Services are free to all eligible readers. Books (and the equipment needed to use the library's audio books) are mailed postage-free to and from library patrons. Eligible readers include Northern California residents who cannot read standard print material in the usual manner due to visual or physical disability.
