Arizona Talking Book Library

The Arizona Talking Book Library provides free audio book delivery/downloadable services to the visually impaired, physically limited, and print disabled throughout the state; any person who cannot read standard print, hold a book, or turn pages is eligible for this free service.

All business is conducted by phone, email, fax, and USPS postal service. Our library literally is delivered to the eligible client. Each person has direct access to their own personal librarian, receive materials, including the player and headphones, free of charge. The Talking Book Library is a full-service library. The difference is our “reading” materials either come in audio or braille formats.

Medical and education professionals are able to certify the application for service. The library also provides services to the organizations that support our clients. Once an application is completed and signed, please email it to apply@azlibrary.gov. When sent, the librarians are responsible for the person’s account.

For a tour of this unique library, located in Phoenix, please contact Christine Tuttle, Outreach & Community Engagement Librarian.
