If you enjoy reading books of all types by a wide variety of authors, you won't want to miss the Accessible World Tek Talk online event Monday, April 16, as Customer Support Manager John Glass provides valuable information about a unique online library that serves people who are blind, have low vision, or have other print-related disabilities that make it difficult for them to read. The collection includes nearly 32,000 books in English and Spanish and, via a partnership with the National Federation of the Blind's Newsline service, some 150 daily newspapers and other periodicals made available as electronic downloads. Additionally, the virtual audience will be provided updates to the organization's ongoing initiatives and, more especially, will learn how to join this thriving community of book lovers.
