Hi Monica, I have had similar thoughts, only mine were along the lines of "I'm dreaming. Don't wake me up." I originally volunteered for Bookshare to save the subscription money. Now, I just like it better and better all the time. I like validating. Maybe some day, I'll get to see if I like scanning.

I think it's a great idea. Maybe it would help to forward it to Pavi? I'd think we'd want to post about Bookshare using some ideas from Bookshare's marketing division or something close to it. Now that we have a volunteer coordinator, there is someone to listen to and consider ideas like this. I don't know about you, but I've never volunteered for Bookshare while they had a volunteer coordinator. I love Pavi's enthusiasm and sense of humor. It's just taking me a little time to adjust to having someone around who will help with volunteer ideas and such. It's like a poor kid who's grown up on old scraps being suddenly given a full-course meal.
