> Dear WTBBL patrons,
> 
> We have contacted NLS and can confirm that BARD will shutdown at 9:00 PM PST (midnight EST), if a budget compromise is not reached.  The Library of Congress and NLS, a part of the federal government, would shutdown all of its websites, including BARD.
> 
> 
> However, WTBBL’s local downloads will still be available!
> 
> WTBBL’s local download site has more than 300 titles (fiction and non-fiction) that can be downloaded to play on your Digital Talking Book Machine or commercial device. WTBBL’s books are held on our own server so are not affected by the federal government.
> 
> If you don’t have your log-in information, call the library to find out more! The link to WTBBL's local downloads  is http://www.wtbbl.org/login.aspx.
