[nabs-l] Changes coming to Bookshare homepage

[Allison Hilliker]

Hi Amanda,

Books on the wish list go out for volunteers to scan. Folks pick the books they like from the list and then scan them for the collection. The time it takes depends upon how
 Quickly a book gets chosen so unfortunately I can't give a time estimate. 

Best,
Allison

How long does it usually take to get  a book on bookshare if it isn't for school?

Please e-mail school-related  requests to schoolbookrequest at bookshare.org or use the contact us form on our web page. If the book is not for school, you can add the book to our wish list by e-mailing wishlist at bookshare.org.
