Bookshare Australia
Do you have a print disability? Do you live in Australia?
With a Bookshare® membership, you can access the world's largest collection of accessible eBooks.
Bookshare, the world’s largest online library for individuals with print disabilities, offers a wide range of books including bestsellers, novels, children's books, mysteries, science fiction, nonfiction, foreign-language books, and more, direct from publishers.
Who may join?
Anyone with a qualifying print disability, such as blindness or low vision, a physical disability that prevents using a physical book, or a learning disability that affects reading, like severe dyslexia, may join Bookshare.
Organizations such as schools may also join Bookshare in order to serve their students or clients with print disabilities.
We work closely with Vision Australia, who are able to facilitate the proof of disability required to join Bookshare. You can make payment directly to Vision Australia.
