Library friends! When you are promoting your Summer Reading Clubs this month, don't forget to include information about accessible books, activities or events. As many as 1 in 5 of your patrons may have print disabilities. Normalizing accessibility helps create equity! Thanks!

"There is a direct link between #BrailleLiteracy & likelihood of getting a job. If you are literate, if you can read & write, you are more likely to get a job. More than 1 million people in the US are legally #Blind, but fewer than 10% can read #Braille." cbsn.ws/2kdCQKR

@ala_asgcla recognized SC Talking Books Services for its petting zoo that provides hands-on experience with #AssistiveTechnology. In FY 2015, 11 mini-grants from @US_IMLS using #LSTA funds enabled SC public libraries to purchase their own equipment. #TalkingBookTuesday
