Good afternoon,

BTBL would like to invite you to our Libraries Without Walls adaptive technology conference. This one-day program will introduce you to various adaptive technologies and help you gain an understanding of the skills needed to successfully use them.

 

The Libraries Without Walls conference is offered every 2 years and generally attracts between 200-300 individuals. We often see a mix of attendees including individuals with low or no vision, caregivers looking for more information, and professionals such as librarians and teachers. Vendors will be present to showcase various items.

 

The Keynote address will be given by Michael May, Executive Director of the Seattle Lighthouse for the Blind. Attendees will then choose breakout sessions that meet their individual needs. Sessions include:
