§ 19323 Audio Books For Disabled

• •The State Librarian must lend audio recordings of books to people who are blind, have trouble reading print, or have a disability that makes reading regular books hard.
• •The books available as audio recordings are chosen the same way the California State Library picks books for its regular collection.
• •The rules for how they pick these books are posted on the California State Library’s website.

A person who is blind wants to read a popular book but can't because it's only available in print.

The State Librarian must provide an audio version of that book so the person can listen to it instead of reading it.
