Alaska State Library Talking Book Center patrons who travel out of Alaska temporarily are encouraged to notify the Talking Book Center before they leave, staff say. Their service can continue while they are out of Alaska by providing their temporary address to the library.

The Alaska Talking Book Center offers free access, including free shipping both directions, to audiobooks, books in braille or large print books to Alaskans who are blind, have visual disabilities or other physical challenges that keep them from reading traditional books, as well as to those with some learning disabilities. Downloadable options are available as well.
