Does your organization support people with disabilities like blindness, low vision, learning disabilities, or physical disabilities? We invite you to partner with Bookshare to increase equity and inclusion by providing greater access to books and information.
Bookshare is an ebook library with over 1.4 million titles including new releases, New York Times bestsellers, fiction, nonfiction, mysteries, sci-fi, autobiographies, history, classics, educational books, and more. What sets Bookshare apart is that every book is available in multiple accessible formats, including audio, large text, and braille. Members can customize their experience – voices, reading speed, text size, highlighting, color contrasts – and read in ways that work for them. Bookshare increases access to information so that people with disabilities can enjoy more inclusive, independent, and joy-filled lives.

How to partner with us
We are excited to partner with you! Bookshare partnerships generally include co-marketing to promote Bookshare to your constituents. By combining our marketing efforts, we can leverage multiple channels to get the word out about the partnership. Your constituents will sign up directly through the Bookshare website and submit payment and proof of disability. In some cases, your assistance in signing up and providing proof of disability will be helpful. From there, Bookshare’s onboarding team will support your constituents in getting started with Bookshare and answering any customer service inquiries in the future.
