March is National Reading Month!  With this in mind, the Technology User Group (TUG) invites you to join us on Saturday, March 9th, as we delve into the world of reading eBooks, using Libby, and understanding Kindle Unlimited.

Thousands of free eBooks are available from various sources across the net, but how can the blind community access and read them?  Libby is a free service provided by your local public library system, but is it easy to use and understand?  Kindle Unlimited has been around for quite a while.  The service allows you to access books and magazines, but is it really worth the cost?
