National Book Lovers Day, August 9
ACBVA Bookworms gather on Zoom in a warm and inviting atmosphere to listen and respond to the book selection.
If you love books like I do, you can’t wait to tell everyone about your favorite books and authors. The American Council of the Blind of Virginia‘s (ACBVA) monthly book club gives you the opportunity to do just that! Unlike other book clubs where specific genres of books are discussed, the ACBVA book club invites participants to share a diverse and eclectic list of books covering a variety of fields.
ACBVA Bookworms gather on Zoom in a warm and inviting atmosphere to listen and respond to the book selection. Since all genres are discussed, you are certain to hear about authors you know and also be exposed to new genres you may not have considered before. From historical, novels, romance, crime mysteries, political satires, and inspirational autobiographies, the variety is exciting and endless.

Reading Initiatives
American Council of the Blind of Virginia (ACBVA) along with Richmond Public Libraries, Virginia Voice, Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired (DBVI) Library and Resource Center, and Judith Goode Kirby are pleased to have completed the summer initiative: How we do it: Learn about accessible reading resources for the blind and low-vision.
We met in three sessions sharing information with the public about technology and other resources to assist with the specific needs and challenges of persons needing assistance to print materials.
We welcome inquiries from individuals, organizations, adult centers, and assisted living facilities for further information.
