This Roundtable will share JBI's book club initiatives, talk about what accessibility means in the context of visual impairment and print disabilities, and how to creative an inclusive book group in response. The Roundtable will explore the issues of how to foster a space where people, many of whom feel very isolated, can find community and have fun. We will discuss materials that JBI can provide you, and how to access them if you are interested. The presenters will talk about the accessibility consulting services which make sure that your library materials--newsletters, etc.--are fully accessible. In 2024, for NYC organizations, JBI has a grant to provide some accessibility services at no cost to your library). All of our materials are free to individuals who qualify.
