Bureau of Braille and Talking Books Library
Welcome
Welcome to the Florida Division of Blind Services' Bureau of
Braille and Talking Books Library Page. If you or someone you know
has trouble reading print because of an eye problem, a reading disability,
or difficulty holding a book because of arthritis, a stroke, or an
accident, the Braille and Talking Books Library can help.
The Bureau of Braille and Talking Books Library serves more than 31,647 Florida residents who cannot use standard print reading materials as the result of a visual, physical, or reading disability. It is the largest library of its kind in the U.S., with a collection of more than 2.4 million items in Braille and audio format, and annual loans exceeding 1.99 million items.
