Colorado would only do it for one year and that was a few years ago.  My year ran out. 😊

The Ohio library for the blind and physically handicapped, as they call it, has paid for my books share subscription for the last two years. I don’t know if any other state libraries are doing this or not, but it is really awesome since I have been a book share subscriber since almost the beginning.

I think it is $80. I am really watching every penny because of retiring, so, I haven’t joined.

Those books sound great!  I don’t have Book Share anymore.  I don’t want to spend $50 a year on it. 😉

Since I’ve had the NLS braille eReader, I’ve gotten into the habit of frequently checking the new books at Bookshare. 

Last night I saw they put quite a few new craft books.  There were a few with crochet amigurimi, including circus animals, a flower garden, woodland animals and a couple more.  And one on crochet colorwork, which it claims is easy.  I got it, but haven’t looked at it yet, so don’t know how accessible it is.  I also got woodland animals.  

There was also a book on tapestry weaving, some kind of embroidery, sewing leather, sewing felt animals, and that’s all I remember.
