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. 

For more on TBS please see your local public library.

We are looking for volunteers to facilitate adult classes at the library!

• Knitting
• Computer/Media
• Book club
• Idaho History
• Art 
• Movies
• Or any other ideas you may have

Let us know if you are interested or if you already have a group and would like to move your venue to the library, that would be great as well. Please give us a call; we would love to hear from you.

Thank you,
