A free service delivers "talking books" to Idahoans with difficulty reading regular print material. If large print is no longer large enough - If stiffness prevents you from holding a book or turning pages - Severe dyslexia may even qualify. Drop by tonight for a demonstration that could greatly improve the quality of life for you, a neighbor, or a loved one. Of course there will be cookies!
