Dame Judi Dench could help shine a light on accessible libraries, YAY! (self.Blind)
submitted by MJBinAZ
Not cool that she's dealing with AMD, is cool that she's stepping up to tell the world about accessible libraries like Calibre Audio in the UK. Here in the US it's primarily NLS/BARD, Newsline and Bookshare, in Canada it's CELA. We can only hope that more people--no matter the condition driving their inability to be successful with traditional print--will become aware of accessible libraries and the options that open up when becoming a member/patron!
