<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Braille and Talking Book Library (BTBL) offers accessible reading materials in audio and braille formats. Public Library Demo Sites are assigned one of our Digital Talking
Book Machines to have on hand to show patrons that come into their branches. There are no circulating items or specific requirements for Demo Sites. We provide promotional materials like brochures, applications, posters, etc. Each Demo Site functions in whatever
capacity helps their patrons the most. Here are some ways Demo Sites partner with us:

home deliveries of materials. If a patron can’t physically come to the library to get your materials, it’s very possible they qualify for BTBL service.

with our posters/flyers. A good place for these materials would be near your audiobook CD collection and/or your large print book collection. Patrons using items from these areas may qualify for our service.

audio books or related services. As long as your staff knows the basics of who qualifies and what we have to offer, on-demand promotion works great! Learn more on our website at:
