Talking books
If you have a reading impairment you can get your course literature adapted to an accessible format.
The most common form of adapted books is talking books, but there are other formats as well, like braille. You can listen to talking books on your computer, mobile phone or tablet.
There are several reasons why you might need adapted books, like dyslexia, visual impairment, physical disability.
You will find talking books in the digital library Legimus. To access Legimus you need to make an appointment with the library. You can choose a time and format that suits you, we will meet you at the main library or on Zoom.
If your course book is not yet available in Legimus, we will help you to make a request. However, it can take some time to produce a new talking book. Make sure you contact us as soon as you get your reading list. You can order a recording by emailing us on biblioteket@kth.se .
