Kansas Talking Books Programs

Annual Summer Reading Program

Kansas Talking Books invites patrons, of all ages, in June and July to join the summer reading program. This annual program uses the Collaborative Summer Library Program theme to encourage exploration through reading. The KTB summer reading program receives funding from the Kansas Advisory Council for Talking Books Services. With the Council's support Kansas Talking Books offers prizes, for youth and adults, to stimulate participation. Summer reading participants that meet the program reading goals have a chance to win the grand prize.

Book Discussion Group by Phone

The Kansas Talking Books' discussion group enables patrons to socialize and share their thoughts on books. The group meets quarterly at 12 p.m. noon, by phone so patrons can interact without leaving the comforts of home.

Group members will need to provide your name and the phone number to use to join the meeting. On the day of the book discussion, Kansas Talking Books staff will call and you to the conference call. All you have to do is answer the phone.

Register to join by emailing Maggie Witte or calling 800-362-0699.
