More information about the Fall Festival will be sent to you this summer. Digital talking books will be the next type of talking book, but will not be available for many years to come because many details have yet to be refined. NLS wants to produce the highest quality book and playback equipment they can afford and is working toward that end. Do not look for digital talking books any time soon. Although NLS is recording a small number of titles digitally each year, they estimate that it will be five to ten years before they are in full production.
Spring is a great time to get out and enjoy the warm sunshine.
Patt Thrash has recommended a great list of books in her Bookworm column that you can take with you as you visit the park, or even sit on your balcony, porch or deck. This is the time of year when the Friends of the LBH invite you to join as a member. You will receive the same good service whether you join the Friends or not. They supplement our budget so we can buy additional Large Print books and cassette books in Spanish. They fund the children's Summer Reading Program and help us to buy additional children's books in Braille.
