Dear Patron,

The National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS) at the
Library of Congress is conducting a research study to learn about the
Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) Mobile app. BARD is a free NLS
program that allows patrons to download audio and braille books, magazines,
and music scores directly to their devices.

This user research will help us understand what works well, what can be
difficult, and how the app can better support different reading needs and
accessibility tools. 

If you are interested, please take the 5-7-minute survey to qualify for the
research using the link below. If you are selected and complete the full
research session, you will receive compensation for your time and feedback.

The survey is open from March 24th through April 10, 2026. Your
participation is completely voluntary. Your feedback will remain
confidential and only be used for research purposes. 

Thank you for helping us improve the BARD Mobile app. Your feedback will
help guide future improvements! 

Sincerely,
