The Braille and Talking Book Library provides access to books for northern California’s blind, visually impaired, or otherwise print-disabled population. Join our dedicated team of volunteers who ensure fast service and quality control for books that circulate to thousands of customers. We are looking for help inspecting returned books, repairing the machines our customers use to listen to them, and audio production assistance in the recording studio.

Mission Statement
The California State Library is the state's information hub, preserving California's cultural heritage and connecting people, libraries and government to the resources and tools they need to succeed and to build a strong California.
Description
The 160-year old California State Library serves the people of California in several ways: It is the central reference and research library for state government and the Legislature. It provides non-partisan research to the Legislature and the Governor. It collects, preserves, generates and disseminates information ranging from California's priceless historical items to today's online texts. It advises, consults with, and provides technical assistance to California's public libraries, and it directs state and federal funds to support local public libraries and statewide library programs, and services. It houses the Braille and Talking Book Library which loans braille, cassette and talking books, magazines and playback equipment to northern Californians unable to read conventional print.
