For more than 100 years, the Washington Talking Book & Braille Library has provided services to those who find the simple act of reading standard print material difficult, if not impossible. 

Basic federal and state funding cannot always provide the level of service needed. Our wonderful donors provide the much needed assistance to help WTBBL in its vital mission.
