Talking Books Topic Large Print Catalog
By Alicia Waters | July 6, 2022
Dear Talking Book Topics subscriber,
Due to ongoing paper supply issues and severe cost increases associated with printing, the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled has made the hard decision to permanently cease the printing of the large-print version of Talking Book Topics (TBT). NLS will continue production of all other accessible formats of TBT and has made many recent additions and modifications to electronic and audio versions to make this selection of the latest materials easier to access.
Patrons can access TBT in HTML and PDF at https://urldefense.com/v3/ or http://www.loc.gov/nls/tbt. TBT in HTML has direct links to BARD for downloading or adding books to wish lists, and TBT in PDF contains order forms, divided by genre, that can be printed and sent to your local library. TBT in audio is also available through BARD and BARD Mobile, as well on cartridge which can be sent directly to your home. TBT is also available through NFB Newsline. Additionally, TBT Abridged is available through Braille Book Review in hardcopy braille and in BRF downloadable through BARD and BARD Mobile or https://urldefense.com/v3/ or http://www.loc.gov/nls/bbr.
Please contact your reader advisor at your local network library at (401)574-9310 to learn more about options for accessing TBT and the entire NLS catalog or for signing up for BARD. Your library can also be reached by calling 888- NLS-READ (888-657-7323) and following with the prompts to your state by visiting https://urldefense.com/v3/ or http://www.loc.gov/nls/findyourlibrary/ US citizens that reside overseas, please call 202-707-9261.
