Hi Mary, thanks so much for your note!
I'm having a little trouble with the comparison between services like BookShare and a library, only because with a library you must return the books and with BookShare the book is yours for as long as you like. I guess I'd see more of a comparison between a service like National Library Service and a typical public library. So I'm sorry if I'm missing the point here. I'm sure not meaning to hold any particular group or interest to any specific standard, just wanting to promote equality. That's all. Thanks a bunch and have a lovely evening! Smiles, Cara :) On May 12, 2013, at 3:10 PM, Mary Otten <[email protected]> wrote: Cara, Would you suggest that sighted people forego the use of the public library or other sources, such as a university library, if you happen to be lucky enough to have access to one, and buy all their books? Equality is great, but equality ought also to mean being able to avail oneself of all available resources. In a free and open society where access to information is not limited to only those who can afford to buy everything, it seems to me that your position sets the bar higher for the blind than it is for the rest of the reading public.
