If you have a disability that makes it difficult to read printed text, the library can help you access talking books, e-text or braille. Talking books can be read on your computer, mobile phone or tablet.

Adapted books are accessed through the digital library Legimus. To make a Legimus account you need to make an appointment with the library. You can choose a time and place that suits you, we offer in-person meetings at the library or online through Zoom.

Access Legimus

If your course book is not yet available in Legimus, the library can order it for you. However, it can take two months to produce a new talking book. Make sure you contact us as soon as you get your reading list. You can order a book by emailing us on biblioteket@kth.se .

Book a resource room

If you have a certificate from the coordinator for disabled students ( Funka ), you can book the resource room at the KTH Library or in Flemingsberg. The resource room at KTH Library is only available for those with dyslexia. Funka adds the access rights to your KTH access card. These rooms are available when the premises are open and they can be booked in advance.
