Bookshare Hits 150,000 Student Members

The non-profit digital library has set a new milestone – just in time for its 4th anniversary. Bookshare boasts that it now supports over 150 thousand students in the US from a supply of over 120 thousand titles.

What sets Bookshare apart from your average digital library is its members. Bookshare was founded with one goal: to provide textbooks, teacher recommended reading, dictionaries, encyclopedias and other academic materials to visually-impaired and hearing-impaired students.

Bookshare plans to expand its support in the coming year with the launch of a new Android app and browser based reading app, which should make it easier for teachers to assign books.
