July 16, 2026
Bookshare is the world’s largest accessible library of published copyrighted books. It transforms the way individuals with print disabilities read and learn. Learn how to navigate the platform, download books in multiple accessible formats, and use popular reading tools to create a personalized reading experience. Gain practical skills and learn how you can use Bookshare in school, your career, and everyday life. You will also get a preview of our newest AI-powered tool called Bookshare Plus, which converts non-copyrighted materials into accessible formats that can be accessed in the Bookshare platform. Whether you’re a student, parent, educator, service provider, or reader, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to expand access, promote independence, and unlock a world of learning possibilities.
