        Dear library members,

        We need your help!
Each year Eftpos support a charitable cause by donating a percentage of the 
money they make from customer transactions over the Christmas period.  Their 
aim (which they met last year) was to raise $1 million dollars for their 
charity partner.  Imagine what a difference it will make for people who are 
blind or have low vision if we were to be chosen as this year's cause!

 

Closing date for voting is midnight tomorrow Saturday, 21st July.  So if you 
haven’t voted yet, please take a moment to do so. And if you tweet or facebook, 
please invite your friends and family to vote too! 

 

Using the link http://www.eftposaustralia.com.au/giveback/, select “Assisting 
people with disabilities” and submit the survey. It’s screen-reader friendly.




        Television comes to life
Yesterday, Senator Conroy announced ABC1 will trial audio described television, 
beginning next month.  “This is a step forward in terms of creating equal 
access to television for Australians who are blind or have low vision,” said 
Mr. Michael Simpson, General Manager Accessible Information Solutions, Vision 
Australia. “We applaud the Minister and ABC1 for taking the lead on this”

For those of you interested in theatre, you might like to try some of the plays

Shakespeare, we have a number of more modern titles such as 

        
                Bombshells by Joanna Murray-Smith
        
                Jumpers by Tom Stoppard (available also in Braille)

Josh
