Description

Since 1906, Washington Talking Book and Braille Library has been an important resource for people who cannot read standard print. 

Now, tough cuts are on the horizon as tax funds and money from the federal and state government are down.

We take a visit to the library and find out what the budget crunch might mean for patrons.
