LARA – Braille and Talking Book Library
Do you enjoy a good book but are no longer able to read small print?
The Michigan Network of Regional and Subregional Libraries serves people with visual and physical disabilities offers best-sellers, mysteries, westerns, biographies, how-to books and other types of materials found in a public library. The only difference is that the books are recorded on a digital cartridge or printed in braille and will arrive at your door through the regular U.S. postal service. They also offer the option to download books from online directly to a flash drive or mobile device! And best of all, this service is FREE, there is not even a charge to mail materials to or from the library.
You do not need to be legally blind to use services — if standard print has become difficult for you, a friend, or a family member, please call 800-992-9012 or CLICK HERE for more information.
Schools and facilities that have eligible clients or patients are also welcome! The Braille and Talking Book Library does 99% of their business through the mail, so you need never leave the comfort of your own home.
