Dear TBBC reader,

The NJ State Library Talking Book & Braille Center (TBBC) offers an exciting new way for you to get TBBC audiobooks closer to your home.

The Pennsville Public Library now has full access to the Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) service and can download books and magazines for you to use with the digital audiobook player you received from TBBC. To receive assistance downloading from BARD, make an appointment by calling Jeremy Magoon at 856-678-5473. Visit the library at:

PENNSVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY 190 S BROADWAY PENNSVILLE, NJ 08070

If you want to get BARD books from the Pennsville Public Library you, a family member, or friend will need to go there with proof of your TBBC membership. You can either contact us at TBBC to request a library-issued patron card or bring a mailing card from a digital book sent to you from TBBC. When you go to the Pennsville Public Library, show them your library card or mailing card then request the books you would like from BARD. You will also need to bring along a new, unused flash drive.

This new service does not replace any services provided by TBBC. You may continue to receive your books from us through the US mail. Getting BARD downloaded books from the Pennsville Public Library is just another way for you to get the audiobooks you want when you want them. If you have any questions, please call our library at (800) 792-8322.

Sincerely,

Adam Szczepaniak, Director NJSL Talking Book & Braille Center
