GLASS “supports accessible library services in Georgia by promoting the use of assistive technology and by providing accessible reading materials to those who, due to a disability, are unable to read standard print” (Source: http://georgialibraries.org/glass/). Eligible citizens of all ages receive an easy-to-use audiobook player with headphones, plus access to thousands of e-books that can be listened to on computers, tablets, and cell phones.
