I attended the Bookshare.org "all hands meeting" a couple of weeks ago. I came back loaded with enthusiasm about the tremendous staff they have assembled even with most new hires and contractors (including me) starting after January 1 of this year. It's an awesome operation and it will continue getting better.

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. -- Monica Willyard Follow me on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/plumlipstick Visit my blog at http://www.scannersguild.com __________ NOD32 3241 (20080704) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
