Talking Book Service

December 6, 2022 By Cascade Library Staff

From Idaho Commission for Libraries:

TBS Serves the State

The Idaho Talking Book Service (TBS) is available to any Idaho resident who is blind, has low vision, or is unable to read standard print due to a visual impairment or certain physical disabilities, such as being unable to turn the pages of a print book. There are other qualifying conditions for TBS, including dyslexia.

At present, there are 3,105 TBS patrons in Idaho, but there are likely many more people in the Gem State who could utilize the Talking Book Service.

If you know of someone who may qualify for the TBS, please have them or their caregiver get in touch with a TBS customer service representative. Call 800-458-3271 or email: [email protected]. 

With more than 100,000 fiction and nonfiction book titles and about 70 magazines, there is a wide variety of available content.
