NLS to Cease Cassette Production October 1

NLS will no longer produce Talking Books in cassette format after October 1, 2010. Cassettes were previously scheduled to be phased out after the end of the year, but supplies to produce cassettes are no longer available.

The Talking Book Center will receive about 150 new Talking Book cassettes during the month of October. These will be the last new cassettes we will receive. All new books after October will be available ONLY in the new digital format. We will maintain our cassette collection of older titles for the foreseeable future.

We are contacting patrons without digital players to make sure everyone who wants one has one. If we have not contacted you and you still do not have a digital player, please call us at 1-800-531-2063.
