To use BARD, you must have a Braille Institute Library account. After you have a library account, you must also obtain an account at the BARD website. In addition, you will need a digital talking book player, a computer with internet access, and a USB storage device if you are using an NLS digital machine. Once you have an account, you can save the books to a storage device and play them on your digital talking book player. E-mail us at [email protected] for assistance with this process.
