Celebration

This year we will be celebrating many things in Talking Books. The program was established with a congressional act on March 3, 1931. In Kansas we celebrated the efforts that went into the creation of library services for the print impaired.

Last week the State Library launched a statewide celebration in Kansas commemorating the signing of the Pratt-Smoot Act. The celebration activities included a proclamation by Governor Sebelius, banners, news articles, radio and television interviews and celebrity readers. We are happy to say that Talking Books was joined by the Governor and other state officials, patrons, and the library community in promoting the awareness of the services that are available. If you missed the celebrity readers last week, it’s not too late; the recordings are available at http://www.skyways.org/KSL/reader. Enjoy!
