Amongst the scores of spam e-mail that I discard every day, sometimes good messages arrive from people whom I’ve never met. I recently received a message from Marsha Stewart, who is responsible for outreach for a project called “Books Aloud.”

Books Aloud is an independent nonprofit organization, located in the main library in San Jose, CA. We provide free audio book library services (via U.S. mail) for people of all ages who are unable to read printed books on their own, due to a physical, visual, or a learning disability. We try to make sure that we have “required reading” (core curriculum) books. Through our growing Sight & Sound program, we can often — but, not always — lend the printed book along with the audio book.
