Top tips for Talking Books

Various books

Are you getting the most from your Talking Book Service? We've put together 10 Top Tips to help you get the best from the service:

  1. As soon as you have read a book, send it back to us so that we can put another title in the post to you. You can borrow up to six books at a time.

  2. Keep your book list topped up with plenty of titles. Our Reader Services Team can provide friendly advice and themed book lists.
  3. Pick up tips and ideas about what to read in your free copy of Read On and New Books.
  4. Use our library catalogue to search for books by title, author, subject or narrator.
  5. If there is a particular book you would like to read and it isn't currently available, let us know so we can consider it for recording.
  6. If we are sending you books you don't like, contact our Reader Services Team. Don't suffer in silence!
  7. Share your enjoyment of books with others - find a reading group near you or log onto our reading web forum to air your views.
  8. If you are having problems with your player, ring the RNIB Helpline for advice on 0303 123 9999.
  9. Keep the original box your player came in, in case you need to return it.
  10. Check our library website regularly for service news and useful book information.

Enjoy your Talking Books!
