Talking Book and Braille Service
The Andrew Heiskell Library operates a books-by-mail program that delivers thousands of recorded and braille titles postage-free. The Talking Books program lends “talking books” to Long Island residents who cannot hold, handle, or see well enough to read regular print books. It also offer free access to a website where you can download any or all of the 145,000 audiobooks or digital braille files onto a flashdrive to play and keep, as well as a free app for iOS, Android, and newer Kindle Fires, to give you instant access to all the audio books and digital braille books on the go.

Books at the Train
This program is designed to offer reading materials to our commuting patrons and others who frequent the train station. The “Read One, Take One, Return One” concept suggests that patrons can take a book, read it and return it to the cart when they are done.
