Perkins Braille & Talking Book Library Named Network Library of the Year

On Friday, June 19, 2009, Perkins Braille & Talking Book Library was named 2008 Network Library of the Year at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. that featured remarks by Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA, 7th District).


Every day, thousands of patrons who cannot read traditional print because of a visual impairment or other disability rely on services from Perkins Library to keep informed and stay connected with their communities. For many, the library is the sole source of accessible reading materials for study, work, personal enrichment, intellectual development or leisure.
