I could get some audiobook at the library but their choice was even smaller than the National Library for the Blind.
By the way I highly recommend that service. I went down to the local branch with a letter from my father's eye doctor and they gave me a bookplayer right away. It was about the size of an old fashioned tape recorder. It has large raised keys in distictive shapes and the keys announce what they are when you press them. Once you are registered with the system you can simply download a zip file of the book or magazine and put the unzipped book on a usb stick and plug it into the device. I downloaded the Economist weekly for him plus various books. The only drawback is that it only plays books from that service, no Audible books. If you know anyone who can no longer read print I recommend getting them set up with an account and a player from them.
