Bookshare, the world’s largest accessible digital library for persons with print and learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, is providing free membership to qualified U.S. schools and students thanks to an award from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education (OSEP). Bookshare has 44,500 digital books, textbooks, and teacher-recommended readings to help children and teens feel successful and enjoy the experience of independent reading. The Hachette Book Group recently entered into a partnership to provide digital books for Bookshare’s library, donating digital files for all 1,700 currently digitized frontlist and backlist titles. Hachette will also be referring all customer service requests for accessible books to Bookshare for fulfillment.
