On Saturday, February 8th, the Technology User Group (TUG)
welcomed Bookshare into our virtual domain. Bookshare is a paid
service offering books and periodicals in a variety of formats such
as braille, daisy and audio. Many of these items are not available
from the NLS collection. The company also offers an iOS app
and an Alexa skill. Lara from Bookshare will tell us more about
using the app and skill as well as the organization’s future
endeavors.
Did you know that LBPD patrons can receive Bookshare accounts
for free through the library? We encourage LBPD patrons to
attend this TUG presentation to learn if Bookshare is right for
them.
The presentation will take 60 minutes.
