California is the latest state where blind and visually impaired residents can gain free access to Bookshare.
Thanks to a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services, Californians who qualify for library services can apply for a Bookshare membership and gain access to over 565,000 titles. This dwarfs the amount traditionally available from the library for the blind.
Bookshare launched a similar program with the New York Public Library in the fall of 2015. In addition, students in any state continue to have access to Bookshare's library of titles.
