Good morning,

Are you looking for a refresher on what the Braille and Talking Book Library offers? This short, 8-minute YouTube video is a great resource for you and your staff: https://youtu.be/6uReCPysUco

 

As always, I’m also happy to discuss one-on-one or present to your staff about this service. Reach out to me directly at wambaughs@michigan.gov.

 

Remember - patrons do NOT need to be legally blind to use our service, and library staff CAN certify our applications.

 

Offering our service as a supplement to the audio books you have available can open up hundreds of thousands of additional reading opportunities for your patrons in accessible formats FOR FREE. Our large collection of audio and braille books can be mailed on cartridge and played using our (free) digital talking book player OR patrons can download the free BARD mobile App to get books directly on their personal devices. The best part, no wait lists or check out periods.

 

I can also get additional promotional materials on the way if you are in need.  

 

Thank you for making a difference in your communities by spreading the word about BTBL!
