The big obstacle in the way of solving that problem is that it would be
illegal. For Bookshare to go ahead and solve the problem on its own would
result in
no more Bookshare.

This sounds like a very reasonable approach. So, I guess we'll argue about it
for months to come. <just kidding).
Really, I think it's an excellent approach to the problem.
I wish there were some way for those who are impaired with good sight could
get access to the books, Cindy Rosenthal (did I spell that right Cindy?) who
does so much for this group. I doubt she would normally read books from the
collection very often, but she might like to see the the results of her
efforts.
So, since I've given you thumbs up on the credits, why not solve this problem
too Pavi. We'll expect an answer by the weekend.

Hi Sue,
First off apologies for the delayed response to your question. We did not
have a confirmed approach for handling donated credits until very recently,
hence
the delay.
If you would like to offer credits without a specific person in mind, again
please write in to the Volunteer Coordinator with the specified amount. We will
keep record of such offers, and if/when it comes to our attention that there
is a member or a potential member who could truly benefit from the assistance,
we will then contact you to request permission for the transfer and then
authorize it accordingly.
All good things,
Pavi

Pavi,
What if we have credits to donate but do not know of a specific member who
needs them? Will Bookshare find a member? Or is this not permmitted? I wrote
to you privately about this but you did not answer me.

Hi Susan –
Thanks for bringing these questions up. I’m glad to be able to address them
here on the list.
Volunteers of Bookshare with earned credits are eligible to donate their
credits. At this time, Bookshare will handle credit donations manually, on a
case
by case basis. A volunteer wishing to donate his/her credits to a Bookshare
member or would-be member, may send an email to the Volunteer Coordinator,
with the amount they wish to donate, the name of the person/s they wish to
donate to, and their reason for wanting to make the donation. These donation
requests upon approval will then be carried out by the membership division,
and a notification will be sent by the Volunteer Coordinator to the
contributing
volunteer.
As time goes on we will modify the process and/or implement any additional
measures or conditions necessary to ensure that the system of donating credits
remains feasible for the organization. We are glad to be able to support this
kind of generosity among our volunteer community and are, as always, grateful
for the work you do, and the dedication with which you do it.
All good things,
Pavi
