Reading Reimagined: BARD on the DA2 Talking Book Player
Learn how to use BARD on the DA2: the newest talking book player from the National Library Service.
Reading Reimagined is a monthly workshop series all about finding new ways to read – including apps, devices, and library services.
The DA2 is the newest talking book player from the National Library Service (NLS), available for free through Braille Institute Library. While it still plays physical book cartridges, this workshop focuses on the DA2’s defining feature: connecting to Wi-Fi and BARD to download audiobooks and magazines directly to your player. You’ll learn how to connect to Wi-Fi, log into BARD from the player itself, and start downloading titles right away. Join us to unlock the full potential of your player.
