FYI, feel free to share.

 

All Cleveland Public Library locations, including the Ohio Library for the
Blind and Physically Disabled (OLBPD) are closed to the public until further
notice as of Friday, March 13th in an effort to prevent the spread of
COVID-19. Likewise, the State Library of Ohio will also be closed to the
public for at least three weeks beginning Tuesday, March 17th.

 

Please note that no talking books, braille or equipment will be able to be
received or mailed out during this time. If you are in need of something to
read and have access to a computer, tablet, mobile device, or third party
player with internet capabilities, please make use of our BARD download
website and BARD mobile app, which allow you to access all of our talking
books and digital braille files. BARD applications will be processed and
approved during this closure.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
