The Yorktown Public
Library has become a demon-
stration site for the Texas
Talking Book Program, a free
library service for people
who cannot read standard
print because of visual, phys-
ical, or reading disabilities,
whether permanent or tempo-
rary. All equipment and serv-
ices are free, including return
postage.
The Yorktown Public
Library is able to demon-
strate the digital player and
cartridge, as well as provide
information about TBP,
including brochures and
applications for qualified per-
sons.
TBP is a division of the
Texas State Library and
Archives Commission. Since
1931, TBP has participated
as a regional library of the
National Library Service for
the Blind and Physically
Handicapped, a division of
the Library of Congress. TBP
was named Network Library
of the Year for 2011 by the
Library of Congress. The
Talking Book Program gives
preference to eligible veter-
ans.
TBP serves approximately
15,000 readers by processing
between 8,000 and 10,000
books on an average week-
day. In fiscal year 2012, TBP
circulated over 850,000
books and magazines to its
readers, with an average
monthly circulation of
71,571 titles.
Most of the readers are
over 65 years old, including
50 patrons who are 100 years
old or older. Young, school
age readers also participate.
Research shows that 1.4% of
the total population is eligi-
ble. With 24 million Texans,
there are more than 300,000
additional Texans eligible for
this service.
Books are available in
large print, Braille, digital
cartridge, and as downloads.
TBP provides players to use
with recordings. Here’s a
sample of people who partic-
ipate in the Talking Book
Program.
•A man with macular
degeneration reads maga-
zines on cassettes.
•A woman who cannot
hold a book reads short sto-
ries on digital cartridges.
•A veteran who is blind
reads Braille books for pleas-
ure.
•A junior high school stu-
dent downloads novels for
English class to her comput-
er, transfers them to a flash
drive, and reads them on the
TBP digital player.
The National Library
Service contracts with pro-
fessional narrators to record
books and magazines. TBP
also produces books to sup-
plement the national collec-
tion. Volunteers record about
40 books a year, including
some in Spanish. Volunteers
in Austin and Midland also
record three magazines,
“Texas Monthly,” “Texas
Highways” and “Texas Parks
and Wildlife.”
Readers may select from
80,000 books and 50 maga-
zines. Reader consultants,
some of whom are bilingual,
are available to suggest
books and answer questions.
Many books and some maga-
zines are available in
Spanish. The collection has
both fiction and non-fiction
such as: mysteries, westerns,
science fiction, romances,
history, biography, cook-
books, how-to books and
nutrition. TBP refers readers
to other organizations that
offer textbooks and newspa-
pers.

Cuero artist show to conclude
Sunday, Nov.25 at museum
The art exhibit featuring
six Cuero-born artists,
“Cattle to Canvas - Six Stars
in the DeWitt County Sky,”
will conclude on Sunday,

Works of art spanning
almost a century of artistic
expression have been on

facilities, located on the sec-
ond floor of the former
Knights of Pythias Hall.
Never before featured in
the same exhibition are
works by E.M. “Buck”
Schiwetz, Tom Stell, Jr.,
Charles Schorre, sculptor
Pete or “Tex” Schiwetz, A1
Barnes and Kyle Polzin.
Artistic styles ranging
from pastoral watercolor
scenes to still life to abstract
and mid- century sculpture,
these six fine artists all pos-
sess the common thread of
having deep, ancestral
Cuero roots.
The exhibition, which
opened to the general pub-
lic, Friday, October 19th
also offers for sale prints,
posters, giclees, books, and
several original works of
art. The Board of the
Museum is pleased to show-
case these exceptional
pieces of Cuero-born artists
to the general public. This
has been a rare opportunity
to compare and contrast the
extraordinary artistic
expressions of these indi-
vidually unique artists — all
home grown.
The public is invited to
enjoy this unique exhibit
free of charge. Viewing
hours are Wednesday to
Sunday from 11:00 a.m. -
4:00 p.m. and Thursday
until 7:00 p.m. Over 55
works of art are available
