> Greetings from the historic California State Library, Braille and
> Talking Book Library in Sacramento, home of the great book rush of
> 2023! In this well-stocked issue of BTBL News, you can pan for and
> discover information nuggets about the Many Faces of BARD program,
> offerings for Spanish language patrons, services with which the NLS
> Music section is tinkering, patron favorite book titles, new offerings
> in the local Californiana book collection, and other treasures and
> tidbits of knowledge.
> 
> Speaking of treasure that enriches the mind, if you are seeking the
> latest news and updates from the National Library Service for the
> Blind and Print Disabled (NLS), the Patron Engagement Section now
> hosts an announce-only listserv that includes announcements about NLS
> programs, services, and products that might be of interest.
> Announcements include but are not limited to Zoom links for online
> events, reminders about the release of the latest Talking Book Topics,
> or BARD updates and new features. New announcements are posted to the
> list a few times per week. To sign up for this listserv, please send
> your name and email address to the Patron Engagement Section at
> NLSPES at loc.gov<mailto:NLSPES at loc.gov>. You will be able to unsubscribe
> yourself from the list at any time.
> 
> Like the 1849 Gold Rush, the accessible book rush attracts
> international language prospectors, i.e., readers! NLS continues to
> add more international language books to its catalog from other
> countries. Recently, NLS renamed its online quarterly publication from
> Foreign Language Quarterly to International Language Quarterly. To
> learn about the constantly expanding collection of international
> titles, visit: www.loc.gov/nls/ilq<https://library.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dacfa367c242711b7d6f73ca7&id=574396cfa9&e=8171df292e>.
> These titles in scores of languages, including English, are made
> available to NLS through the Marrakesh Treaty, a landmark copyright
> agreement allowing for the international exchange of accessible-format
> titles to serve those unable to read traditional books because of a
> print disability. If you have international collection title
> suggestions or need assistance with finding international language
> titles, contact your Reader Advisor.

> Congratulations to our 2023 Summer Reading Program participants--who
> received their Starbucks or Baskin Robbins gift cards, and for some a
> BTBL stuffed animal puppy! This year 42 participants read 491 books!
> We salute the inspiring children, teens, and adults who read many
> great fiction and nonfiction works to beat the summer heat.
> 
> BTBL's Assistive Technology Lending Program has thus far been very
> successful. We are expanding device loans to patrons from our Fresno
> and San Francisco subregional libraries. We have loaned internet
> hotspot connections, handheld magnifiers, and portable audio players
> to hundreds of Sacramento regional library patrons. These are one-year
> loans with the possibility of an additional year renewal. For the
> Victor Reader Stream audio players there is a prerequisite to maintain
> a valid email address and active BARD account. Please contact BTBL if
> you are interested or visit

> And finally, if you are interested in synthetic voice audio,
> electronic braille, and now some human-narrated books, consider a free

> New USPS Pickup Option
> 
> Since the pandemic, the United States Postal Service has instituted
> new policies for pickup of packages such as braille and digital books.
> When you want to return materials to the library by postage-free mail,
> you may need to schedule a pickup. You can do so by completing the
> short online form at
> https://tools.usps.com/schedule-pickup-steps.htm<https://library.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dacfa367c242711b7d6f73ca7&id=61ce599531&e=8171df292e>.
> You can also get there by searching the internet for "USPS Pickup".
> You might be able to streamline the process by speaking with your mail
> carrier directly. Thank you for taking this step to ensure the timely
> return of braille and digital books to the library!
