Marcus and all:
You will need a player, such as the Stream, or PC program which can
read DAISY books. A version of the Victor Soft reader is available to
Bookshare members free of charge. My own experience with this program is
less than satasfactory. Karen you should especially appreciate the
braille reading option via the BrailleNote.
An App for the iPhone, iPod, iPad is also available for $20.

If you are interested you will need to contact the Library Commission staff at the regular number and ask for your library card number. A link allows you to sign on to the LEAP system and after following several steps you will activate your membership on the Book Share site. I just paid $75 for this service.
