Hi, Mayrie. It's true that people who are members of Bookshare are eligible to get books from NLS, but if the books aren't
in hardcopy braille or preferably Web braille, that rules out those of us with hearing impairments who can't use talking
books at all or at least not very well, in my case. For me, anyway, I like the idea of being able to find as much as I can
in one place, but I can at least understand somewhat people's thoughts of not wanting to duplicate efforts if the books are
available in both braille/Web braille and tape, but when it's only available on tape, that does exclude some of us. Take care.

Hi Shayla,
If it matters, the last three books that you listed are available on cassette from NLS. I personally try not to duplicate books that NLS already has as anyone eligible for BookShare is also eligible to receive books through NLS. Let me know if you really want me to scan those anyway. If it's really important to you or to anyone else, I'd be happy to scan those books. Otherwise, I'd rather grow the collection with books not available to patrons anywhere else.
Peace, Mayrie
