Student Registration (Individual)

The Talking Book and Braille Library at the State Library is a FREE Braille and audio book library for any Oregonian with a print-disability, which means a person cannot read standard-size 12pt print for long periods of time comfortably. Eligibility for our library includes legal blindness or other visual impairment, physical impairments, or reading impairments like dyslexia or dysphasia. To register a student with our library, just download a copy of our application using the link below and submit the completed application once it has been signed by a certifying authority. We do not require any additional paperwork. Applications can be submitted by mail, fax, or email. Visit our registration page for more information.

School Registration (Organizational)

Schools and educational service organizations which regularly serve students meeting the eligibility requirements, can apply for free library service in order to:
• Demonstrate the service to eligible students who might want their own account
• Facilitate group or educational activities for students with print disabilities

Summer Reading

The Talking Book and Braille Library is a proud participant in Summer Reading!  Each year there is a theme, incentive prizes, and grand prize drawings. Sign-up today and side-step the "Summer Slide."

Oregon Battle of the Books

Each year students from across Oregon participate in the Battle of the Books event, and students with print disabilities can enjoy reading these titles as well.  Talking Books has many of the titles on each year's list in audio or in Braille, and if we don't have a title we can help you connect with sources that do.
