Production of 2026 braille wall calendars (CAW1), which was delayed due to last fall’s government shutdown, has now been completed, and distribution of calendars has begun.

We anticipate that all subscribers will receive calendars by the end of February. 

All pocket calendars (CAP1) have now been shipped.

The topic for the Thursday, February 12, 2026, Many Faces of BARD program will be Advanced Searching on the DA2.

After a presentation and demonstration, we will take your questions about all things BARD for the remainder of the hour.
