Kentucky Talking Book Library
To obtain an application, call our toll-free number (1-800-372-2968) or download one from our website. In addition to basic information about the patron, each application must be signed by competent authority certifying that the individual qualifies for our service. Librarians are considered competent authority, along with health professionals, teachers, social workers, and government agency staff, but only medical doctors may certify reading disabilities. We will be glad to provide your library with applications to keep on hand.
Once we receive an application for service, we will contact the person by letter or telephone. Each patron is assigned to one of our 3 librarians, who will explain how the service works. She will find what kinds of things the patron enjoys reading, and will determine how many items to send, and how often to send them. The patron will then have a familiar name and voice to speak to when contacting the library.
