Hi Sue,

Thanks for asking. Yes, I've graduated this year, or rather will in August. 
It's a bit wacky to think about because the commencement ceremony was in May, 
but I had to finish with two summer school classes. Those classes are both 
over, but I won't technically graduate until the summer semester ends in 
August. I will miss going to school, but I will enjoy having a bit more free 
time. Perhaps after the fall semester I will begin taking a class per semester.

My full time work with Bookshare.org will begin in a week, which is just two 
weeks after my 4 year anniversary as a member/volunteer. It will be odd not 
going to college, but at least Bookshare.org isn't going away, smile.

Jake

  Hi Everyone!

update. Yep you guessed it, Bookshare.org now has more than 39,000 books! Go

  Happy Independence Day,
  Jake

    Hi, everybody. Have you all noticed how smoothly things are running this 
week, even though Bookshare staff are traveling for the conventions? Remember 
how everything used to totally shut down during convention week and for most of 
the beginning of July? No new books, no customer support, and no communication. 
Wow! I am impressed this year. Lisa, Carrie,  and the rest of the staff have 
been working hard so that our service isn't interrupted while they do the 
conventions. Thanks too all of you for keeping things going. (big smile) What a 
wonderful Independence Day gift to wake up to 45 new books in the collection.
