Bookshare
recently announced that they will be providing free membership for
disabled veterans who are currently attending a United States college or
university. Bookshare also serves disabled civilian students and others
with print disabilities by providing free downloadable accessible
books. Veterans who qualify, but are not enrolled in school will have
access to a 30 day free trial. After the trial veterans continue using
Bookshare for a $50 yearly membership fee. Especially on Veterans Day it
is great that veterans who are disabled will be able to access over
215,000 accessible books from the Bookshare library. Bookshare's press
release says,
"Accessible books can break down reading barriers and open a new lifeline to reading to go back to school, learn a new vocation or read for pleasure."
