Communication Center

Live, work, read, succeed!

Access to information for school, work, and everyday life is critical. Whether it’s a story in today’s newspaper, a textbook for class, a manual for work, a family cookbook, or the latest book from a favorite author, we provide you with what you want to read so that you can read it when and how you choose: on your tablet, smartphone, or computer; through our radio receivers; in braille; or on a digital book player. We loan radios and digital book players at no cost to customers.
