Hear what partner libraries say:

“I think every library should offer Bookshare to their print disabled patrons. In addition to making read-ing accessible, Bookshare opens up hundreds of thousands of titles, and in many cases, makes them available for the first time ever to people who can’t read traditional print.”

Mark Lee, Library Services Administrator Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, LBPH
