Show Us How You Read
In order to show potential new patrons how Talking Books can benefit them, we would like to create a display board of photos of current patrons using their Talking Books. This display board will be taken to presentations and expos to show how much current patrons love their talking books. We will not identify patrons by name or give out any information about you. Mail pictures to: Special Needs Library 2025 Baxter St. Athens, GA 30606 or email digital pictures to: specialneedslibrary@athenslibrary.org
