This is bad news for Talking Book Libraries and Patrons. Digital download of books through BARD will help but the transition to digital is slow. Currently less than half of NKTBL's patrons have the digital players that are required for BARD service. Talking book players are also sent through the mail. That means if a person’s player breaks after the Thursday mail pick-up, the soonest they could get a replacement player would be Monday.
