Hi folks,
Here's my story. When I first found out about bookshare.org, I visited the
site just to see what books were available. When I found some books that I,
as a deaf/blind person had not been able to read on tape after the hearing
loss, I decided I just HAD TO JOIN!!!
Shortly after my membership was approved I signed up as a volunteer, not
sure just what I could do for bookshare. I wanted to donate my services,
and give my credits to Bookshare so that someone who could not afford the
fee would have a subscription. "Volunteering," I wrote, "is just
that--volunteering with the rewards of helping with the collection."
I was told this was unacceptable for members, and that if I wanted to donate
I could donate money. I reluctantly agreed to help and get credit for it,
and have been doing this work for wow! about 5 years!!!
I think we have quite a lovely group of people, and I enjoy the lists as
well as validating and reading.
THANKS TO ALL!!!!
Sue S.
