GLASS Service Options

GLASS (Georgia Libraries for Accessible Statewide Services) is no longer mailing out talking book cartridges or machines.  However they now have staff set-up to provide patron support while staff work from home. GLASS staff can enroll new patrons and explain how to install and use the BARD Mobile App, Bookshare and a variety of other resources that help people with print impairment. BARD mobile allows patrons to download books onto mobile devices. A great advantage of this service is that GLASS books do not have a waiting list for holds. 

In addition to promoting and assisting GLASS patrons with online content, GLASS staff offer telephone book discussion groups and peer to peer support groups across the state. Visit  GLASS to get an application or to learn more about their services.
