Bookshare makes books available to people with visual or other print disabilities. They convert the book into whatever form the person needs -- Braille, large print, or digital formats for text to speech audio. Their services are free to American students k-12. For adults, they have a $50/year membership fee that allows the person to request as many books as they want. It's a wonderful organization, founded by Jim Fruchterman, a recent winner of a MacArthur fellowship, also known as a "genius grant."Paula Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03348829467452984711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-24453068167272498892008-11-06T09:39:00.000-05:002008-11-06T09:39:00.000-05:00In defence of Long Island, when I lived there (Hal...In defence of Long Island, when I lived there (Half Hollow Hills), I had a wonderful experience with the Library. People working at the Library realised my son was deaf when they saw me signing with him and approached me and asked me if I knew how to use a TTY. I did, so they asked me if I could train their personnel. I was thrilled to help. Then, they asked me if there were any books or DVD's that would help people learn more about deafness, or help me out as well, just to let them know and they would order them right away. They ordered a LOT of stuff and really increased the amount of stuff they had on deafness in their library. It was an incredible experience.<BR/><BR/>OMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
