The Kentucky Talking Book Library, KTBL began enrolling Braille patrons into the program in early September and had assigned 65 eReaders by month’s end. The purpose of the pilot is not only to test the functionality of the eReader, but to test ebraille circulation and how easy or difficult it is to use for patrons with all technical abilities. Now that we’ve had some time for some of our members to receive and perform testing, we’re delighted to host a panel discussion for users to share with us some of their own experiences! Please join us on Friday, March 5 via Zoom at 6 PM, EST to learn more about this new way to enjoy reading and how it is making a difference to ensure that we may continue to use Braille every day! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Lonnie T.
