This service for people with print disabilities offers ebooks in audio, braille, and large text which can be read on your mobile device or computer. Bookshare has over 700,000 titles in education, science and technology, leisure, and career and employment available in many languages. The Bookshare pilot is in addition to WTBBL and National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Disabled services.<br><br>For the pilot, WTBBL will be able to offer fifty one-year Bookshare memberships to fifty patrons. The memberships will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to the first fifty people who meet the requirements of being a WTBBL patron with an active BARD account. Students may currently signup for Bookshare memberships for free, so WTBBL memberships will not be allocated to students. Participants will be required to complete pre and post pilot surveys.<br><br>If you are interested in participating in the pilot, submit your request for a WTBBL Bookshare membership beginning <strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>January 16th</span></strong>. Please submit your request by email to <a href="mailto:danielle.miller@sos.wa.gov"><span style='color:#007C89'>danielle.miller@sos.wa.gov</span></a> on or after January 16, 2020. The pilot will begin on February 1, 2020.<br><br>For more information about Bookshare, see the <a href="https://sos.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4cc76b29ebd6084a20161a5f6&id=63956dc719&e=8c44f6fb45" target="_blank"><span style='color:#007C89'>attached flyer </span></a>or learn more at <a href="https://sos.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4cc76b29ebd6084a20161a5f6&id=f92d857da2&e=8c44f6fb45" target="_blank"><span style='color:#007C89'>https://www.bookshare.org</span></a>.<br><br>We are pleased to be able to offer this pilot for expanded access to additional titles.
