If you enjoy reading books of all types by a wide variety of authors, you
won't want to miss the Accessible World Tek Talk online event Monday, April
16, as Customer Support Manager John Glass provides valuable information
about   a unique online library that serves people who are blind, have low
vision, or have other print-related disabilities that make it difficult for
them to read. The collection includes nearly 32,000 books in English and
Spanish and, via a partnership with the National Federation of the Blind's
Newsline service,  some 150 daily newspapers and other periodicals made
available as electronic downloads.  Additionally, the virtual audience will
be provided updates to the organization's ongoing initiatives and, more
especially,  will learn how to join this thriving community of book
lovers. 

Following the presentation, there will be sufficient time for questions and
comments from the audience. So, tell all your friends to join you. There
are
plenty of seats for everyone!
