Upcoming Program:
That All May Read: Free, accessible books and more with the Oregon Talking Book & Braille Library
Weds 9/16 from 4-5pm
Nationally, 1 in 5 people are dyslexic, and in Oregon over 670,000 people live with one or more disabilities. Printed books aren’t accessible to everyone. Learn how Oregon Talking Books can help you and your patrons by providing free and equitable access to a large and diverse collection of free audiobooks, eBooks, and assistive devices available only through the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (Library of Congress) and the State Library of Oregon.
Join us for this session and you’ll walk away an expert at recognizing different print disabilities (visual, physical, perceptual, and reading) and how you can connect patrons with our services as a Certifying Authority.
Sponsored by Answerland; the Oregon Library Association’s Reference and Legal Reference Roundtables; and the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the State Library of Oregon.
