2. Important Notice to Library Borrowers
Dear Perkins Library Patrons,
Due to evolving Coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker issued an Executive Order requiring all non-essential businesses to close effective Tuesday, March 24, 2020. The Executive Order extends until April 7, 2020.
The Perkins Library falls into this category, so no Library mail will be sent out after March 24. Additionally, we ask borrowers to hold all Library materials until you are notified that we are able to receive them by return mail.
In the absence of Library materials, you may wish to consider signing up for our Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) service. This service allows you to download titles directly to an Android, Kindle Fire, or iOS device for easy playback. You can also download the books to a USB drive for use with our digital player. To start using BARD,
simply fill out the application available here.

If you wish to learn more about our BARD service, please contact Cory Kadlik at (617) 972-7580 or email Cory.Kadlik@Perkins.org.
We understand the hardship this situation may cause for you. We also feel the loss of not being able to serve you during these uncertain times. We will resume operations as soon as we can ensure the safety of all concerned.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Kim Charlson, Executive Director
