Talking books
If you have a reading impairment you can get your course literature adapted to an accessible format.
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 main library or online through Zoom.
Book an introduction to talking books
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 .
