The Tar Heel Talk Newsletter from the State Library of North Carolina Accessible Books and Library Services brings you news you can use. Hear about library news, events and happenings. Listen to articles on patrons, volunteers and staff at the library.
Dear Patrons,
We at SLNC Accessible Books & Library Services would like to let you know we will be discontinuing the use of Podbean for hosting the Tar Heel Talk newsletter and our podcast, Heard Any Good Books Lately?
Moving forward, both will continue to be available as digital talking magazines, sent directly to patrons who are subscribed to those magazines through the same service you use to receive your talking books and other magazines. In addition, Tar Heel Talk and Heard Any Good Books Lately? will also be available directly through our website, making it easy to listen online whenever you like.
We truly appreciate your understanding as we make this transition to better serve you.
If you have any questions or need help accessing the newsletter or podcast, please contact us at 1-888-388-2460 or ncabls@dncr.nc.gov.
Sincerely,
SLNC ABLS Staff
