If you’ve been hearing about the DA2 and wondering what it actually does, this is your moment to get clear answers.

Join us for a guided introduction to the new DA2 Talking Book Machine, led by Mike Marlin and Morgan Pershing from the Braille and Talking Book Library (BTBL).

They’ll walk us through what’s new, what’s improved from the DA1, and how features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and direct downloads from BARD can shape your reading experience.

You’ll also get clarity on eligibility and support options, with time to ask your own questions so you leave feeling informed and confident.
