Talking Times, Summer 2022 Part 2

Book Discussion Group

If you haven't joined us yet, consider joining us for our following book discussion. A book discussion group is a way for you to connect with other members of the Talking Books program and to share your ideas about books that you might not have otherwise read. At every session, we have a lively discussion about the characters, plot, setting, and the story's impact on our way of thinking. We learn from each other by sharing our ideas and impressions. Visit the book discussion page, to learn more about our bi-monthly book discussions and to register.

 

Do You Have More Than One Player Machine??

If you have more than one player machine in your possession, please return the additional player. If you need a box, please call (401)574-9310, and we will gladly mail one out to you. All players can be returned to Perkins Library, 175 North Beacon Street, Watertown, MA 02472, as postage free matter for the blind and dropped off at your local post office. You may also give the player to your mail carrier when they arrive at your residence. Player machines issued to a member should be returned when the member is no longer using the program. All equipment is the property of the Library of Congress, National Library Service. Please help us make sure that we have enough players for all members. We appreciate your cooperation.
