in the Mayor's Summer Reading Program. Many children's and
young adult titles are available including the 2006-2007
Bluebonnet Nominees.
The Recorded Books Program serves children and adults
who are either visually or physically disabled, or learning
differenced. Listeners may choose from over 3,300 titles
listed in our catalog or can request that materials be recorded.
Recordings are currently provided on either a standard two-track
cassette or CD (MP3 format), which the listener may keep.
To request a recording of specific materials, please contact
the Recorded Books Manager at 214-871-7668, or e-mail
audiobooks@readingresource.org.

Special Education services, in either public, private or
