Having access to reading materials is incredibly important, especially to people with vision disabilities, and soon, part of the State Library of Kansas will be working to help spread the word about just that.
“We at Kansas Talking Books are a division of the State Library of Kansas. Our upcoming NovemBARD program is to help make sure everyone, whether they're already patrons or know someone who might qualify for our services, is aware of our offering of BARD (Braille and Audio Reading Download) services,” Kansas Talking Books Director Michael Lang said. “BARD is provided through the federal program, the National Library Service, for people who are blind and/or print-disabled, and it's a division of the Library of Congress. Our goal is to make sure everyone knows ... everyone is aware of talking books, and a lot of people are still aware of the old style, which is us sending out cassette tapes and players. We do still send out that physical equipment to people through the mail, and it's all free and available to patrons, but a lot of people don't know they can use BARD to access audiobooks, audio magazines, Braille books and magazines, musical scores in Braille, audio instructional materials for musical materials, etc. We also started a roadshow idea last fall, and since we don't see very many of our patrons face-to-face, we love getting out on the road and meeting our patrons who we've talked to on the phone or e-mailed back and forth with.”

One of his supporters in Seward County wanted to show support for Trump returning to the White House, and he did it through art.
Jeremy Upham built the “Trump Train in Kismet, and the attention-getting political statement may have been a premonition to the actual outcome. Trump won Seward County with 69 percent of the vote.
