ReadHowYouWant Provides Midwinter Guide in Accessible Formats

From the latest ALA Cognotes:


As part of ReadHowYouWant’s Ruby sponsorship of the ALA for the third year in a row, RHYW has converted the ALA Midwinter Guide into accessible formats including large print, braille, and DAISY (a digital format with synchronized text and audio). These formats can be downloaded at http://www.combinedbook.com/ala/ala_readhowyouwant.htm.
Large print and accessible formats publisher ReadHowYouWant is also announcing its Library Donation Program. The goal of the program is to donate large print books to libraries that need to expand their collections, but do not have budgets for more books in large print. All books donated through this program are shipped directly to the library.
More than 150 publishers in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand partner with RHYW to release their titles in large print and accessible formats. More than 8,000 titles in a wide variety of genres are currently available for purchase atwww.readhowyouwant.com.
Stop by booth #1718 during ALA Midwinter to see samples of large print books in 16pt, 16pt bold, 18pt, 20pt, and super large 24pt. To set up an appointment, or if you have questions about accessible formats or the Library Donation Program, email Bradi Grebien-Samkow, Publisher Representative, email bradi@readhowyouwant.com.
