Staying Active in the Program
If the designated contact person for your demonstration site changes, either call or email us to provide the name of the new contact person.
We will be glad to assist you in finding ways to tell your community about your demonstration site and services provided by ILBPD.
Contact us if you encounter any issues with your digital cartridges or your digital player.
Feel free to make copies of the ILBPD application and to request more promotional items at any time. BARD (Braille Audio Reading Download)
BARD is a web-based, password-protected service that provides access to thousands of audio and braille books, magazines, and music scores available from the National Library Service.
Instructions provided on how to download books from the BARD website, BARD Express and the BARD mobile app.
Your library will be set up with a demonstration account and will receive access to four predetermined titles for demonstration purposes only.
An email, with BARD instructions and resources, will be sent to the contact person listed once this application is processed.
Discontinuing Participation in the Demonstration Site Program
Call the ILBPD to let us know that you wish to discontinue, send back all the equipment and books that are checked out to your institution. Use the box(es) that you have retained to send back the digital player and place all digital cartridges in their plastic boxes. You will want to check and make sure the white label cards are facing the correct way. Send these items out with your regular mail. You may keep promotional items if you wish.
