Hi, Kolby! Welcome to the list. If you have already been approved by Jesse as a volunteer, you can begin to download books to validate. When you log in, you'll be at the volunteer home page. Toward the bottom of the page, there's a link that says, "Step One: Download." This is a link to the page which includes books that need to be validated, i.e. proofread. You can check out the list of books and download one to validate. Fellow volunteers will be glad to answer any questions you may have concerning this process. Happy reading!

Writing to say "HI!" > Hi all! > My name is Kolby Garrison, and I am 15 years old. I am now officially a volunteer at bookshare.org, though I am still waiting for my memberrship to go through. Anyway, How can I help? I don't have a scanner, just a PC, Internet Connection, Jaws, a Pac-mate BX420, the Daisy Tellex Scholar Talking Book Player, and an eagerness to help make more books accesible for blind people. So, How can I help. Could some one please give me specific instructions on what to do? > Thank You! > Write me back at- klg120988@xxxxxxxxxxxx > Kolby Garrison > >
