Hehehe True Chela.
Well!
That leaves me out. I haven't had a library card in over ten
years and have no plans to get one. I live out in the sticks.
Nearest library is 15 miles away. And the quality of service is
such that, I was advised when borrowing some books on tape that I
was to "listen! to these.
Well what did the lady Think I was going to do with them? One
wonders
My Very best to all
Jack

You have to have a local library card number I was told early
today, but it
can't hurt to contact bookshare support either but I don't see
how this will
be such a benefit on the other hand because well, we are already
part of
bookshare, right?

I don't either. I am thinking about contacting my local library
and asking
them about it. Since it is a venture of Bookshare too it might
not be a bad
idea to contact Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and ask them.

to do. Eden

Wow I didn't know this until today folks when I had to get a
library
card number from my county library since the BTBL no longer
continued
support for overdrive books and so when I was talking to a
representative online, they said that I could use overdrive with
bookshare as well so I retreived the following once application
was
done.

Well folks that is awesome, funny think is that I told them I'm
a
member of bookshare already and that I volunteer as well so we
talked
about it more and said to tell others to check it out. So I'm
passing
this along on the librarian's behalf. They call themselves the
Virtual
Library Staff on the online chat because different people have
timeslots and such I guess but what was really cool is that it
was
accessible and I was able to send the chat log to my email so I
souldn't forget the important links they gave me funny thing is
on the
chat log it showed up as their real names! The Virtual Library
Staff,
hehhehheh, that kills me!
