I have been working with public libraries for years and today began to reflect on how they provide resources for all ages--free. I had been working with K-12 students and have been working with unabridged audiobooks and companion print books from the library to help students improve their reading and academic performance.
Recently I had to prepare to take a battery of Spanish tests for the Department of Justice and found multiple resources to help me prepare for the exam.
My 95-year-old mother has age-related macular degeneration and has loved the "Cat Who" books by Lilian Jackson Braun. The library had copies of almost all of the books in the series in large-print editions. The Library of Congress, through its National Library Service, is providing the blind and physical handicapped of all ages with talking books--a free service.
