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!

"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever. 
It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you 
get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're 
on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, 
the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter
