<DIV>This is our fourth newsletter to help you stay informed on the current
situation. Nothing has really changed in the past week. Governor Murphy is
leading the state’s efforts in this crisis and he will safely get us back to
the
library.</DIV>

<DIV>Books are not being duplicated and mailed out to you but staff is
returning
telephone calls.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>In this newsletter, we want to entice you to consider downloading
books. My
thanks to Liz Kelly for taking the New York Times Best Sellers listing and
giving everyone the book numbers to download.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For children and the young at heart, Jen has complied a link to books
being
read by some famous people.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have also provided some information of podcasts from the Hadley
School
of New York that may be of interest to you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>BARD MOBILE APP</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With BARD Mobile for iOS or Android, you can play the audio materials

your smartphone or tablet. If your device is connected to a refreshable
Braille
display through Bluetooth, you can also read the Braille materials available
on
BARD.</DIV>

<DIV>The BARD Mobile app is available as a free download through App Store
or

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Before you can use BARD Mobile, you must be signed up to use BARD. You

plan.
You can set BARD Mobile to only download over Wi-Fi.</DIV>
