Hi, Allison. I agree with you. What we have on this list is wonderful. Yes, the main topic is Bookshare, and for the most part, I think we do a pretty good job of sticking to that, but when things do happen, we're here, and that means a lot to me, too. Take care.

Your words are so true and I really needed them today. When I first joined Bookshare I was getting books, now I have a community.
