Don't Stop Reading Because of Vision Loss!

Tuesday, April 30, 2013, 8:30-10 a.m.
Ogilvie Room, Thompson Community Center

Learn about the accessibility options available from your local library, the new tablets, and e-readers--like the iPad, Kindle and Nook. Audio books, from the public library or the Talking Book program, are a great reading tool, too. Jean Kalscheur, Vision Rehabilitation Teacher with the Wisconsin Council of the Blind & Visually Impaired, will partner with local library experts to demonstrate a variety of options for keeping older adults with changing vision connected to reading.

REGISTRATION: Call 1-800-783-5213 or go to www.wcblind.org to register.
CEU’s: 1.5 continuing education credits will be available for public library directors' recertification.
