Have you heard about the Colorado Talking Book Library? The CTBL, located on Sheridan Blvd., is a service of the Colorado Department of Education. It provides free recorded books, also Braille and large print, via mail. Adults or children can be served by this library. Interested patrons will need to fill out the application and have it signed by a professional (usually medical).
Why would a patron use this service rather than the audio books at the public library? For one thing, the tapes and other materials arrive at the home via regular mail, so no transportation to the library is needed. Also, there are a wide variety of recorded magazines available too, as well as local Colorado material.
The CTBL cassettes are played on special machines, which the patron keeps at home as long as the service is being used.

This is a really great resource. I had heard of it, but wasn't too sure how it worked. Thanks for the information.
