National Literacy Month is wrapping up, and it’s the perfect time to remind you about one of the most powerful resources available to library patrons—the Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) service.
BARD is an online resource that gives you instant access to thousands of braille and audio books, magazines, and music scores. Whether you enjoy mysteries, biographies, children’s stories, or the latest bestsellers, BARD makes it easy to download materials straight to your device. Best of all, it’s available 24/7—so your next great read is always just a few clicks away.
You can use BARD on a computer, smartphone, tablet, or compatible eReader, making it flexible to fit your reading style. And just like with our physical collection, BARD materials are available in the accessible formats that meet your needs.
If you’re not already signed up for BARD, this National Literacy Month is the perfect time to start! Visit NLS BARD site or contact the library to learn how you can register and begin exploring this incredible collection today.
