Greetings to our wonderful user community,
I wanted to let all of you know about an upcoming feature story on the CBS
Evening News about the Bookshare.org program! It will air this Thursday
evening, February 22nd. Local broadcast times do vary, so please check your
local TV listings to find out when it will be on in your area.
You should all feel very proud of your individual contributions to the
success of Bookshare, as this story will emphasize.
Here's a copy of the announcement we just posted to the Bookshare.org home
page about the story. If you go there, you'll notice that we've also updated
the page to give CBS viewers and others the big picture about Bookshare.

The CBS Evening News will profile Bookshare.org as part of its "American
Spirit" series. The Bookshare.org segment is part of a collection of stories
about effective and scalable solutions to social needs. The broadcast is
scheduled for February 22. Please check your local listings for CBS Evening
News broadcast times.
The CBS story features Benetech CEO Jim Fruchterman, Bookshare.org Customer
Support Manager John Glass, Bookshare.org members Brian Miller and Priscilla
McKinley, and Bookshare.org volunteer Carrie Karnos.

As the reporter told John Glass, there are only 7.5 million people who watch
the CBS Evening News, so no need to feel nervous. And he did a great job
with his interview.
Best regards,
Lisa Friendly
Bookshare.org Product and Operations Manager
