[MD-Sligo] Fwd: library event

[Sharon Maneki]

Here is Jerry Price's opinion on the Aspen Hill library event that was
advertised on this listserv. Perhaps this is a future project for the
chapter.

*Sharon Maneki, Director of Legislation and Advocacy*
National Federation of the Blind of Maryland
410-715-9596

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is
not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise
the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Last I checked, Hoopla had some accessibility but not completely.
Libby is definitely accessible; the other two I don't know.
