<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Although our physical locations are closed through the end
of March, we're excited to bring you a first week of remote-only programs. You
can participate online or by phone in workshops about online news and accessible
gaming, and exploring data visualizations when you have low or no vision. We'll
finish out the week with a book discussion. Please see below for the full
schedule. To register for any of these, please email me at <a href="mailto:ChanceyFleet@nypl.org" style="color:rgb(5,99,193)">ChanceyFleet@nypl.org</a> or call my Google
Voice number, 347.632.8383, and I'll send you instructions for joining us. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This remote-only discussion group is all about finding news
and information online, with accessibility in mind. Here's what we'll cover:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">• Making the news easier to read: how reader views,
adblockers and other tools can help you declutter your reading</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">• Where to find reliable news, from local to global; how to
decide whether you're reading a credible source</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">• How to get news and info with simpler tech: conversational
assistants, and NFB-Newsline online and by phone</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This remote-only discussion group is all about accessible

Letters to Helen Keller</h2>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This remote-only book discussion will explore Blind Rage:
Letters to Helen Keller, by Georgina Kleege. This book is DB63900 on BARD, and
you'll also find it on Bookshare. This is a bold book unlike anything else you
will have read about Helen Keller. Kleege's letters, written to an imagined
Keller decades after her death, explore Keller's legacy and Kleege's complex
reaction to it: her education and work, the known and indistinct facts of her
personal life, and how her story and image have been curated, sanitized and
appropriated. </p>
