Since March we have been hearing that this was “imminent,” and yet, the package has still not been sent over to the Senate.

On Thursday November 12, 2015, we are urging all of our members to tweet the following individuals to remind them that people with disabilities want to read, and that the Marrakesh Treaty will expand our access to books. There is a real opportunity here to #FeedTheBookFamine!
