The Pinellas Talking Book Library's (PTBL) mission is to encourage and support reading by providing free library services to residents for whom conventional print is a barrier. The PTBL is administered locally through the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative, Inc. It is a free service to residents of all ages who are unable to read standard print material due to visual, physical or learning disabilities whether permanent or temporary. The PTBL provides recorded, Braille and large-print books and magazines as well as a collection of descriptive videos and players.
