[Ohio-talk] FW: [blind-family] Breaking barriers to access

[Colleen Roth]

Hi,
It would be great if you would get to the nitty gritty.
What formats are available? What devices can be used and can we participate without all this getting to know you stuff. I just want to read not be in a bookclub unless the members are of my choosing.
Let's just cut to the chase and know what formats are available, the fee structure and what members are required to do.
