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 Chris Botti-- -- Chela Robles AIM/Twitter/MySpace/E-Mail: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx> Skype: jazzytrumpet WindowsLive Messenger: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxxxx> Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/chela.robles Text my Cell at: 19252505955 I volunteer for a non-profit organization called Bookshare, to find out more go to: http://www.bookshare.org Visit my Blog Piece from RFB&D and fill out the comment form and enjoy the blog and sound clips: http://www.rfbd.org/Blog/Access-and-Achievement/144/vobId__2525/ --
