Book By Mail:The library sends large print books and audiobook CDs to homebound residents of Coconino County who are otherwise unable to access library materials. This is a free service. More information is available at our Books By Mail page.

Talking Books: The Arizona Talking Book Library provides books, magazines and other library resources in alternate formats for all Arizona residents whose visual or physical disabilities prevent the reading of conventional print materials. They are provided free of charge to eligible individuals through the Library of Congress and the Arizona State Braille and Talking Book Library in Phoenix (1-800-255-5578). Eligibility may be certified by your doctor, optometrist, nurse, therapist, or other competent authority. Because the books are recorded at a slower than normal speed, a special machine is required. Machines are loaned for as long as the materials are in use. Damaged machines are repaired as needed or replaced free of charge; ask at the Adult Information Desk for assistance, weekdays between the hours of 10 am and 5 pm. Applications for these services are available at the Information Desk.
