Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic
(RFB&D), founded in New York in 1948, has been serving New Yorkers
who are blind, visually impaired, physically disabled or have a learning
disability. We are proud to have opened up to thousands of our New York
members access to books whose covers would have remained closed.

This is an exciting yet challenging time for all of us at RFB&D
as the demand for our services and the number of members continues
to increase. Last year our 230 volunteers donated over 18,000 hours
of service and recorded 250 textbooks. Our CV Starr Learning Through
Listening® Library now contains more than 110,000 titles. Through
our educational outreach program we currently work with 135 member
schools in New York City and Nassau County servicing over 4,000
students in all grade levels.
If you are interested in learning more about us or want to volunteer,
please give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you.
