I am pleased to honor our 2024 NLS Library of the Year Award winners: @MDLBPD in Baltimore, MD and the Larry Gorton Talking Book Library in Traverse City, MI. Both stand out for the many ways in which they ensure that disability stops no one from experiencing the joy of reading.

You may have noticed some changes while searching for books in BARD or reading the catalog. NLS is now using longer publisher-provided book descriptions for new titles. NLS hopes that these descriptions will provide more information for readers to select titles.

Guide dogs are not a GPS for their handlers. Instead guide dogs use directional cues that are given from the handler. However, if there is an unsafe situation, guide dogs are trained to stop and avoid it to keep their handler safe.

“This last week I made an amazing discovery on the BARD Website. There are books called playing by ear series. Bill Brown walks you through playing songs on the piano. It is incredible! I used to be able to see music well enough to read it but I haven’t for a long time.”
