Accessible Books on Love at WTBBL

The Washington Talking Book & Braille Library (WTBBL) is sending all our loving to patrons across Washington! In February 2023, we displayed titles about love in multiple genres, including local author Alexandria Bellefleur’s romance novel Written in the Stars. The display, set on a light pink background, features a mailbox bursting with open white envelopes and lace valentine hearts. The envelopes each hold a description of a different book available for check out or download in audiobook (DB), braille (BR), and/or large print (LP) formats. This display is a nod to our partnership with the postal service, which allows us to serve our community far and wide through the "Free Matter for the Blind or Other Physically Handicapped Persons" postal program. We couldn’t do it without them!

On the wall are open white envelopes with lace patterned valentine hearts in reds and pinks. The envelopes contain a piece of paper with a description of a book and a picture of the cover. Between the open envelopes are smaller closed white envelopes sealed with red hearts.
