About

The Bookshare Blog is published approximately three to four times per month by members of the Bookshare team. Our goal is to share information with the Bookshare community to raise awareness about the benefits of accessible ebooks, reach new Bookshare members, encourage reading, introduce new features and titles, and share success stories about students and adult members as well as the teachers and parents who support them. 

The letters B-L-O-G are pinned to a corkboard.

Topics include:

  • Student/teacher/parent spotlights
  • School district success stories
  • Tips to engage students with reading barriers
  • New books and reading lists in the collection
  • New features and product tips
  • Conferences and events that Bookshare is participating in
