If you have attended the fair in the past, you know that our vendors and exhibitors demonstrate the "latest and greatest" assistive technology. The demonstrations are useful and informative to both individuals and the libraries, so please make plans to attend. Those of you who have attended the fair in the past, have stated how helpful it was to see demonstrations of assistive technology that can make your library more accessible to individuals to people with visual and print disabilities. We will send out many more announcements, as well as mailings to you and your patrons and fliers that you can hand out at the library . Please watch for more information as the date approaches. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
