Hi Susan and All,
I'm new to the list, and new to volunteering for Bookshare. My goal is to
earn all the credits I'll need for my membership, which I feel will be super
rewarding!
Susan, I have the exact same question, and would have asked it today myself
if you hadn't. So you aren't alone in wondering! *smile*
Warmest Wishes to Everyone,
Kim
