Mission Statement
The Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library will promote and foster the joy of reading and lifelong learning for Oregonians who are print-disabled.
About This Cause
The Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library, a division of the State Library, is a free library for any Oregonian with a print disability, which includes visual, physical, and reading impairments. Though physically located in Salem, we loan Braille and audio books and magazines to eligible readers across the entire state. All lending is done free through the mail or via download. The Talking Book and Braille Library is the regional library in Oregon for the Library of Congress’ National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS) network. We are funded entirely by state, federal, and donation funds. We have leisure reading books and magazines like those items found in a public library. The collection is ever-growing and consists of over 90,000 titles in audio, 19,000 titles in Braille, 95 audio and Braille magazines, and over 350 descriptive videos. However, reference books, textbooks, and academic journals are not available. Listening music is also not available from the Talking Book and Braille Library, but instructional music materials and musical scores can be obtained directly from the National Library Service.
