About Bookshare and Overdrive?
Wow I didn't know this until today folks when I had to get a
library card number from my county library since the BTBL no
longer continued support for overdrive books and so when I was
talking to a representative online, they said that I could use
overdrive with bookshare as well so I retreived the following
once application was done.

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--
