| Catalogs | |||
| Initially, you will receive large-print or Braille catalogs from which you may order books. You also will receive either Talking Book Topics or the Braille Book Review every two months, which list the latest books available. And you'll receive our own quarterly newsletter, Librarian, which is available in large print, Braille or cassette. | |||
