Students and family members who cannot read standard print (because of a visual, physical, or reading disability such as dyslexia) can get free audiobooks and braille through Wolfner Talking Book & Braille Library, part of the national NLS network and its BARD download service. The Wolfner Talking Book and Braille Library (Jefferson City, Office of the Secretary of State) is Missouri's NLS library, providing audio, braille, and large-print materials plus loaned playback equipment; Missourians unable to read standard print apply with a certified application.
