Established in 1992, the talking book library was started to cater to general reading needs and educational needs of visually impaired students in schools and colleges. The library converts print books into Audio Cassettes and CD’s. Audio master cassettes and CDs are recorded at the recording rooms mostly with the help of volunteers. We record books in fiction, non-fiction and textbooks in various languages. Membership at the library is for a minimal fee and members can borrow books on copies made at the library. The talking book library has helped the visually impaired of all age groups and socio-economic backgrounds through the state and country. The talking book library is a big step for the visually impaired to enable them to attain knowledge and information concerning the world we live in. Mitra Jyothi’s TBL has over 1350 members that include around 37 educational institutions. Other features of the library include ‘Sanchaya’ the monthly audio magazine with over 115 subscribers.
