Kentucky Talking Book Library
The Kentucky Talking Book Library (KTBL) provides free library service to people who cannot read traditional print because they have a visual, physical, or reading disability. Audio and Braille materials are sent to and from users by postage-free mail. Special equipment is provided by the library. KTBL has been in operation since 1968 and is part of a national network of libraries administered by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, a branch of the Library of Congress.
For more information on eligibility for service and/or an application, visit our website at https://ktbl.ky.gov/. Information can also be obtained at the Pendleton County Public Library.
Choice Magazine Listening
Choice Magazine Listening is a nonprofit organization that provides audio recordings of memorable articles, stories, interviews, essays and poems from outstanding current magazines, completely free of charge, to blind, visually impaired, physically disabled or dyslexic adults. Based in Port Washington, NY, CML has proudly served the blind and print-disabled community since 1962!
Choice Magazine Listening is committed to keeping its unique service absolutely free. Both the recordings and the special player are provided at no cost to eligible people. Listeners who use a computer can download CML onto a thumb drive or a purchased talking-book cartridge. As a bonus, the downloaded version is available earlier than the mailed version, and back issues may be downloaded as well.
Those who are unable to download CML receive each issue by mail on an easy-to-handle talking-book cartridge that slides directly into the player. The recipient has almost two months to enjoy each issue before returning it in the plastic mailer it arrived in. No postage is required—simply pop it into the mail by the due date.
