Talking Book Topics in Large Print
Do you subscribe to Talking Book Topics (TBT) in large print? Supply-chain issues and worldwide paper shortages have impacted production of TBT in large print. But, you can still get fast access to the latest issue of TBT online in HTML and PDF on the NLS website. TBT in HTML contains direct links to BARD for downloading or adding books to wish lists, and TBT in PDF contains printable order forms for mailing. TBT is also available in audio on cartridge and on BARD and BARD Mobile. An abridged version of TBT is included in Braille Book Review, which is available as a BRF on www.loc.gov/nls/bbr and in hardcopy braille. Contact us if you would like help accessing TBT in these alternate formats.
