Wolfner Library Patrons,

Wolfner staff will be available to help eligible 
patrons enroll in the

You must have an email address in order to 
register with the BARD program to download the 
over 14,000 digital NLS books and magazines. The 
NLS digital player, that will replace the NLS 
cassette player in the coming year, will play 
BARD audio material with either a blank NLS 
cartridge or a standard USB drive. In addition, 
Wolfner Library has a limited number of Victor 
Reader Streams to loan to patrons.

  At both events Wolfner staff will have Victor 
Reader Stream players to loan to Wolfner patrons 
wanting to download books over the internet from the BARD system.

If you are planning to attend the Friends of 
Wolfner Library Annual Meeting or Power Up 2009 
Conference & Expo please remember to stop by the 
Wolfner Library booth to register for BARD and to 
take home your Wolfner Library Stream loaner.

Requirements for the Stream player for loan from Wolfner Library are:

·         You must be a Wolfner Library patron in good standing.

·         You must have a high-speed Internet 
connection or regular access to one.

·         You must have a working e-mail address 
and knowledge of how to use it, including handling attachments.

·         You must have a reasonable knowledge of 
how to use the web, fill out forms online, 
download large items, and unzip files.

·         You must have a working knowledge of 
file management; that is, you must be able to 
create folders to put your books in, and locate 
the proper folders from which to extract your books.

·         You must download a minimum of 2 NLS books or magazines a month.

·         You must be comfortable using small 
electronic devices such as TV remotes or cell phones.
