 Oh hi. My name is David and I use the Talking Book and Braille Service. It's a free library available to Nebraskans who can't use regular print because of a physical or visual impairment. Well, come on inside to tell you all about it. The Talking Book and Braille Service offers audio books and magazines. The books are lightweight and fit in the palm of your hand. Westerns, mysteries, romance, classics, inspiration and more. Find just the books you would enjoy. Here's how the system works. You let them know what books and magazines you would like. The books and magazines are listed online and in large print catalogs that are mailed to you. You can call your reader's advisor. They can help you search by author, title or subject. You can also mail in your requests, send an email or submit book and magazine requests using the online catalogs. If you prefer, you can also download books. The books and magazines are checked out and go back and forth in the mail. The postage has already been paid. The player makes listening to books really easy. Push the power button, slip in the book and you are set. The sound is clear even with the volume up high. When you're finished with the book, pull it out using the finger hole. You can be set up in your own name and the retirement center or care facility can be set up as well. To register for this free service, fill out the application and mail it in. Chapter 1 In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, he told me, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.
