Books on audio-cassette: We stock a selection of classical and popular literature which has been transferred onto audio cassette. This means that visually impaired people can enjoy books even if they find reading print, difficult or impossible. Most of our stock is comprised of commercially available tapes that have been donated to the association over the years. You can find out about OAB's selection of audio-books by contacting us.

Audio books are also available in Oxfordshire County Council Libraries, recorded on either cassette or CD. A larger collection of spoken word material, including magazines and information on tape, is available from Westgate library in Oxford city. These items are issued free to visually impaired people.

A far wider selection of audio-cassette literature is available from the CALIBRE cassette library. The Calibre Audio Library is a registered UK charity, set up in 1974 as Calibre Cassette Library. "Calibre Audio Library improves the quality of life for people who have sight problems or other disabilities, by bringing them the pleasure of reading through a free nationwide postal service of recorded books."
