The State Library of Kansas Talking Books Service (KTBS) will celebrate library services to Kansas residents who are unable to read or use standard printed materials, March 1-7, 2015.
KTBS provides library services for the blind and physically handicapped at no charge. Readers have access to personalized support and materials in a specialized format as well as playback equipment. All materials are loaned through the U.S. mail to patrons, no postage necessary, or instantly downloaded. KTBS currently circulates around 22,000 items per month.
Every day we hear how Kansas Talking Books Service is positively affecting and enriching lives,” said State Librarian Jo Budler. “The love of reading does not end when a patient loses his or her ability to read and we want to thank the individuals helping to expand this service and enrich more lives.”
