TBBL

The State Library offers specialized services to Louisiana residents of all ages who are visually impaired, legally blind, have reading disabilities, or are unable to handle traditional books through the Talking Books and Braille Library, a special library-within-a library.

An affiliate of the Library of Congress's National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled, TBBL provides access to more than 164,000 audio and braille books, 25,000 large-print books, and playback machines to anyone with permanent or temporary disabilities.

Reader advisors help patrons select materials. Additionally, TBBL dedicates a staff member to serve children up to age 18, allowing them to participate in statewide summer reading programs. There is no charge for TBBL, and more than 6,000 Louisianans use the service.
