Large Print

Large print books are available for registered borrowers who cannot easily read conventional size print. The South Dakota Braille & Talking Book Library (B&TBL) has access to a large print book collection.

Note: There is no postage charge for returning your large print books. All books are sent to you as "Free Matter For The Blind" and may be returned the same way. Free matter privileges are the result of Public Law 91-375, which allows free mailing of large print, recorded and Braille materials for persons with visual or physical disabilities that prevent reading standard print. For the purposes of free matter, large print is comprised of upper-and lower-case characters 14 printer's points or higher.
