In all honesty, I know people who are simply unable or unwilling to pay for the priviledge of using a good library. I have often felt that NLS or our state talking book libraries would benefit from a once-a-year membership fee. With Book Share, I joined because I wanted a faster way to read, firstly, but they make new books available to us way faster than our government libraries. Finally, while I am a retired fossil, I am thrilled to see text books being made available and children's books. I wish we had this when I was growing up along with a few other things I am spoiled to have and use. Dianne B.

Hi Mike, Uh, how on earth did you come up with 33 as the number of senior citizens? Just terribly curious. And I will definitely bring up the possibility of senior citizen discounts. If it were to result in increased membership ...

Hmmmm, I wonder if bookshare is flexible enough to let me endow a $10 discount for all seniors. That would be 33 discounts right now.
