Connecticut State Library for Accessible Books

The Connecticut Library for Accessible Books (CTLAB), formerly the Connecticut State Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (LBPH), is a network library of the Library of Congress’ National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS). CTLAB lends books and magazines in audio and braille formats, for free, to any Connecticut resident who is unable to read regular print due to a visual, reading, or physical disability.

Readers register with CTLAB and materials are delivered to individuals via U.S. mail or are downloaded by patrons to their personal computers and mobile devices. The NLS collection includes nonfiction and fiction titles and spans various genres. Spanish language materials are available, as well as some titles in other languages. The collection is intended to appeal to patrons of all ages, from children through adults.
