Interesting. It sounds like that many books will be exclusively available only
through BARD but not distributed on cartridges, if I'm interpreting this
announcement correctly. From the January-February Talking Book Topics ...
Patrons can enjoy even more titles through BARD
NLS is pleased to offer readers an even greater selection of new audiobooks
through our Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) site and on your Android
or iOS mobile device with the BARD Mobile app. Thousands more titles are now
being distributed exclusively through BARD. As our relationship with various
major publishers grows, more audiobooks will become available. Though Talking
Book Topics will continue to list the latest titles available on cartridge
for delivery to your home, we encourage patrons to explore these BARD-exclusive
titles by signing up for BARD or by contacting a reader advisor at your
local braille and talking-book library.
