Pathfinder Press was among the convention exhibitors at the National Federation of the Blind

New Orleans— Pathfinder Press was among the convention exhibitors for the first time this year at the National Federation of the Blind. Some 30 Pathfinder titles are already available to blind and low-vision readers through the website Bookshare.org, the result of efforts by volunteers who want to read these books and have done the work to format and post them for others. 

Pathfinder is now organizing to add additional titles and to enhance their accessibility features. Pathfinder Press accessible e-books have descriptions of images and navigation features needed by blind readers using screen-reader software, and they can be converted into Braille, audio and other digital formats.

Volunteers at the Pathfinder table distributed several hundred flyers in Braille and in large-print format listing Pathfinder e-books available through Bookshare.org.

Volunteers demonstrated Pathfinder’s new, accessible e-book files to several dozen convention participants. Several signed up to give feedback once they can try out the files themselves.
