A Good Book

Reading a good book with a friend is a great way to enhance time spent together-and to stay connected. It's an experience everyone can enjoy-whether in a group, such as a book club, or just relaxing with a friend. Reading is fun!

Individuals who are unable to read regular print or hold a book may continue their pleasure through the Library of Congress talking-book program. Eligible readers may choose from a wide variety of recorded books and magazines. Fiction and nonfiction titles include bestsellers, classics, westerns, romances, biographies, and political commentaries. The talking-books, and their easy-to-use playback equipment, are provided without charge through the mail.

Talking-books-because a good book is worth sharing.
