[Michlib-l] New Marketing Materials

[Wambaugh, Stephanie (LEO)]

Good morning,
If your library needs any BTBL applications<https://www.michigan.gov/leo/-/media/Project/Websites/leo/Documents/BSBP-BTBL/NLS-Application-for-Individuals.pdf?rev=4989afd050604cd9a29d2cc0410f0459&hash=A39ECAB4037DA53299827465540B858D>, brochures, or posters to use for outreach in your communities, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. We have recently redesigned both our applications and brochures and would be happy to get the updated content on the way to any library that requests it. Some of our public library partners use these materials during their homebound or bookmobile outreach. Others put the information near their large print or audio book collections within the library. Still others create displays or keep the information at the reference desk.

As a brief overview, the Braille and Talking Book Library<https://www.michigan.gov/leo/bureaus-agencies/bureau-of-services-for-blind-persons/btbl> offers accessible audio and braille books to Michigan residents unable to comfortably read standard print materials due to a visual, physical, or reading disability. Potential patrons apply for service to access over 150,000 books that can be downloaded directly with our free mobile App, BARD<https://www.michigan.gov/leo/-/media/Project/Websites/leo/Images/BSBP-BTBL/BTBL_BARD_OnePager2024.pdf?rev=fa59d315219d4b4c8ce80ec2b740cc7b&hash=80A25793FE842E578D619089B76BBD3C>, or they can request one of our Digital Talking Book Players and books can be delivered directly to them on cartridge through the regular U.S. postal service.

Public libraries can help spread the word about our accessible library in many ways. Feel free to reach out if you are unfamiliar with our service and would like more details.
Thank you,
