The library is located in Raleigh, but mails materials throughout the state. The same book and magazine titles found in any other public library are available for loan.
Materials are in large print, braille, or audio formats.
The audio materials are either cassette tapes or record discs. Patrons may read one or more formats of their choice. The cassette tape and records are recorded at slower speeds than commercially available tapes and records. Thus, the library also loans specially designed cassette players and record players to patrons who request tape or record service. Special accessories such as remote controls, breath switches, extension levers, and amplifiers are available to those who need them to use the players.
