Qualified job applicants with disabilities and employers who would like to hire them might want to check out the ABILITYJobs website here.  The site's stated mission "is to enable people with disabilities to enhance their professional lives by providing a dedicated system for finding employment."  And by "posting job opportunities, or searching resumes, employers can find qualified persons with disabilities as well as demonstrate their affirmative action and open door policies".

Just a quick reminder that Greenwich Library still offers assistive technology to patrons with disabilities.  The list of devices we offer can be accessed here.  For more information, contact me at (203) 622-7918. 

And keep watching this space for updates in the next few weeks on upgraded JAWS & MAGic software that we'll be offering!
