Rocky Mountain Unit in Denver

Location:

Hours of Operation:

The Rocky Mountain Unit of RFB&D produces the textbooks that students and professionals with print impairments need for the academic and career success that lead to lifelong self-sufficiency and self-fulfillment. We also provide an educational outreach program to schools to help them use and understand the program and our services.

Our program is accomplished through the time and talents donated by our specially-trained volunteers. These dedicated volunteers come from all walks of life and areas of expertise to produce recorded textbooks from algebra to zoology. Learn more about volunteering at the Rocky Mountain Unit.
