Do you buy them? Do you get them from your local public library? Does your family, friends, or colleagues share their books with you? Do you find the Internet useful in locating books that are free or inexpensive? These are just a few questions Bookshare members visiting the Community Room the past several weeks have asked. It seems appropriate, therefore, that during the Tuesday evening get-together this week that we explore these questions in more detail. Mark your calendars and plan to join this live, interactive online discussion with other Bookshare enthusiasts. Date: Tuesday, July 10, 2007.
