Library of Congress Braille and Talking Book Program Releases Book Download App through Apple

People who are blind, visually impaired or have a physical disability may now download audio and Braille books to their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, if they are registered at the South Carolina’s Talking Book Services Library for the Library of Congress free library service.

The Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) Mobile app is now available through the Apple App Store. The app, which is free, allows readers to download audio and Braille books from their National Library Service (NLS) BARD accounts. Access to BARD is provided through local cooperating libraries. BARD contains nearly 50,000 books, magazines and music scores in audio and Braille formats, with new selections added daily.

Eligible users in South Carolina may even find the free Braille and talking-book program more attractive.
Please contact the South Carolina Talking Book Services Library at 1-800-922-7818 to learn more about this program.
