Bookshare

Bookshare
Bookshare™ provides the world’s largest online library of accessible reading materials for people with print disabilities. Individuals can sign up for membership and access the library on their own. Organizations that serve individuals with print disabilities (schools, libraries, community centers, etc.) can sign up and provide access to their students or clients.

A Bookshare membership offers unlimited access to accessible books, textbooks, newspapers and magazines. Additionally, free access technology makes it easy to read books with a computer.

Medford Area Public School District has had an organizational membership since the 08-09 school year.  We currently have 3 students signed up as members.  If you have students that could benefit, please let me know.  We can complete their membership application to receive services.

Families can also sign up for individual memberships at no cost.

www.bookshare.org for more information.  Contact me for the username and password to access the materials.

Read2Go is an application for the iPad designed specifically for Bookshare subscriptions.  We have this in our iTunes Library
