Hi, Chanell,

When you submit the Bible study book, please let us know.

  Hi Monica,

  Bookshare seems like a great place to meet new people (smile). It is great 
that the members and volunteers are so diverse. I am proofreading now 
(hopefully the book turns out okay), and then I will continue scanning a book I 
am reading for a Bible study.

  Hi Chanelle. I'm so glad to hear that you're interested in doing some 
scanning. We do have an extensive wish list. I suggest working on books that 
interest you at first, both because they'll be more fun to work with and 
because whatever you like to read, there are other Bookshare users who like the 
same things. There are very few books in our collection that no one has read. I 
asked Susie from the Bookshare staff about that once because I was curious. If 
you spend time learning to scan books you want to read anyway, you get a 
feeling of independence as well as the satisfaction of knowing that your work 
is blessing someone else. We have around 45,000 members right now, and we have 
members of all ages, political persuasions, and cultures. We have people with a 
P.H.D, people who never made it past elementary school, and everything in 
between. There are theologians, nuns, priests, and pastors. There are also 
dancers, musicians, lawyers, retired folks, and stay-at-home moms. , So 
whatever you like to read and want to scan, you can't lose. Someone will greet 
your books with eager delight.
