In 2012 WTBBL was honored with the Mayor’s Award and Proclamation for its work empowering individuals with disabilities. Mayor Mike McGinn proclaimed June 5 as Washington Talking Book & Braille Library Day.
Visit our website (www.wtbbl.org), like us on facebook (www.facebook.com/WTBBL), or visit us in downtown Seattle to learn more about this amazing library and the people who count on it day after day.
Do you know someone who can’t read standard print? Someone who is blind, visually impaired, can’t hold a book or turn pages, or has a reading disability? Then you know someone who needs the Washington Talking Book & Braille Library (WTBBL)! We are the only library in Washington providing uniquely tailored library and information services for those who can’t read standard print material.
We mail books in audio, braille, and large print across the state and have audio and braille books available for our patrons to download. WTBBL also has youth services programming, reference, technology instruction and training, book clubs, organizational accounts available for public libraries, schools, retirement homes and much, much more.
