It occurs to me that not only might the librarians give out brochures to their eligible patrons, but it would be good to supply them with brochures for potential sighted volunteers. I would think that librarians would be in a position to know a number of people who might be interested. On Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 4:29 PM, Shelley L.

The variety of books I get, plus ones I read for myself, us great. One nice thing, though, is since they know what I do for bookshare, when I borrow a juvenile book to read for myself I don't have to explain or feel embarrassed. I recently borrowed A Stranger Came Ashore because the synopsis was so intriguing. It was a delightful and delightfully well-written story. When I have time 'll write a review.
