About National Library Talking Books

This is a collection of adult fiction and non-fiction talking books. 

Items can be borrowed from Motueka or Takaka  Libraries. Richmond Library users are able to request specific titles.  Borrowers need to register for this service.

Talking books can be borrowed for three weeks.

Who Can Use the Service?

You are eligible if you are:

• visually impaired, or
• have an intellectual or physical disability,
• or have any other condition which limits your ability to read or use traditional print formats.

Borrowers do not need a referral from their doctor. A family member/caregiver may register to use the service on behalf of a person with a disability.

Children who have a parent or caregiver with a disability are also eligible to use the collection. Children with learning disabilities need to contact their school’s learning support teacher.
