Dear Booksharian Friends, It looks as if a Bookshare Volunteer's work is never done because here are 53 more books I'll mail to scanners who request them for free, to scan and submit. Keep or do anything with them except returning them to me. Please ask for books which interest you by number and name off list at airadil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx It's first come, first served with a cap of about 5 books per requester. I'll send a few updated lists so you can see which books have been claimed and which remain.Validators can tell me off list about books you'd like to validate and I'll pass on your information to the person who is scanning the book so they canput a hold on it for you at their discretion. This is first asked first served, too This list has many books for kids age 8 and up including several series books and books for teens. I've been told that Bookshare is especially appreciative of books on these levels because of their huge award from thedepartment of education. Books 1-37 are for readers age 8 to 20, and 38-53are for adults I'm lucky to be able to pick up bags of books at low prices at Librarysales. I really appreciate all of you who take these books and scan them. Asof two weeks ago they weren't in the collection. If you know of any titles on this list which have been added, please tell me so I can delete them. Usually about half of the books I list are requested. If you have ideas of other places I can post this list to find more volunteers to scan them, please contact me. This is a wildly diverse set of books. Enjoy! Always with love, Lissi 1.
