What LAMP Offers

Digital Audiobooks

Digital audiobooks, from the Library of Congress’ National Library Service and Network Libraries, are downloaded by library staff onto flash drive cartridges and sent and returned via the U.S. Postal Service entirely for free. Additionally, you can digitally download audio titles to your smartphone, tablet or personal electronic device though the Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) app. This service gives access to all of National Library Service’s titles.

Braille Books and Downloads

Braille books and downloads are available for all LAMP patrons. A large collection of digital braille files via BARD can be downloaded to a free Braille eReader issued by LAMP or the patron’s own refreshable braille device, either of which present braille text by electronically raising and lowering different combinations of pins in braille cells.

Digital Magazines

Digital magazines from the Library of Congress’ National Library Service are downloaded by library staff onto flash drive cartridges and sent and returned via the U.S. Postal Service entirely for free. Physical braille magazines are also available. Additionally, you can digitally download audio or braille magazines to your smartphone, tablet or personal electronic device through BARD.

Each DVD case is overlaid in braille that contains relevant information such as title and director. We have thousands of new releases and documentary titles to choose from.
