The Talking Books Advisory Council Meeting in Emporia


On August 18, Toni Harrell (Talking Books Director for the State Library of Kansas) and I met with the Talking Books Advisory Council in Emporia. The discussion centered around the activity in the Talking Book subregional centers and plans for launching a project around talking books online. Pictured above is Toni and me and Advisory Council Chair Christine Owens from the Prairie Independent Living Center.
