<DIV>Thank you, Marci. I shouldn’t be so cynical, but it does seem like a
fantastic coincidence that two books highly critical of Trump disappeared just
like that and we weren’t notified until people pushed back and demanded
information. </DIV>

Friends,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This weekend I and many of you noticed that two books which had recently
been added to BARD were no longer there. This was very alarming and no
explanation was given. As the National Federation of the Blind representative on
the NLS Collection Development Advisory Group, I wrote to my colleagues and NLS
and received the response below. I just checked my BARD app and there is now a
notice about this issue posted there. </DIV>

apologizes for any confusion. We found that there were missing text and
chapters in the Bolton and Trump books, so we are trying to restore them and
get them back on BARD as soon as possible.<o:p></o:p></DIV>
