Is reading hard for you?

At your library you can borrow course literature in the form of talking books and print:

Download talking books in the TPB catalogue
NB: you must have an impairment that makes it hard for you to read to be entitled to download talking books.

  • The Swedish Library of Talking Books and Braille (TPB) stores close to 70 000 talking books. Contact your library for a password to download talking books. 
  • Course literature and other literature can be downloaded whenever and wherever you want.
  • Talking books can be burnt onto CDs, transferred to an mp3 player or listened to on a computer. 
  • Help and support is provided by your library.

Borrow talking books as a CD

  • Your contact librarian will download talking books from the TPB catalogue and burn them onto CDs for you.

Order your course literature as talking books

If your course literature is not available in the TPB catalogue, your library can arrange a production of a talking book by TPB or Lund University.

  • In order to have talking books produced you need a TPB loan identity which is provided by your coordinator at the office for Students with disabilities.
  • The production of at talking book takes approximately 8-10 weeks, so you need to contact your library as soon as you know what the course literature is for your next course. Remember to bring the course reading list. 

Borrow printed course literature

You are entitled to an extended  loan period for course literature. The default loan period is four weeks, also for renewals. Contact your contact librarian if you wish to have the loan period extended.
