Subject: Library for the Blind and Print Disabled Technology User Group on April 9

On Saturday, April 9th , the Technology User Group will look at food delivery services. During the recent pandemic, many visually impaired individuals and families had difficulty getting groceries due to a lack of technological knowledge or the absence of smart devices.  The Technology User Group will profile numerous food delivery options, including those that do not require technical knowhow.  There are dozens of services that can get groceries to your door.  See which one may be right for you.

We will also take a quick look at the BlindShell phone, its features, and where to purchase one.  

The presentation will be virtual and may be joined by calling 319-527-4994.  You do not have to RSVP for this event.  The presentation will begin at 10 AM and last about 60 minutes.

We look forward to meeting with you virtually on Saturday, April 9th, and hope that you will join us for other exciting events we have planned for 2022 and beyond.
