Bookshare Ireland Launches to Increase Educational Equity for Irish Students

With the launch of Bookshare Ireland, people with reading barriers, such as dyslexia or a visual impairment, just got access to over 500,000 books in multiple digital formats that they can read in a variety of different formats, totaling two million reading options.

We’ve been thrilled by Benetech’s ability to repeatedly reach scale in bridging Silicon Valley tech and social impact, and I’m proud to have supported them for the past 10 years.

Jeff Skoll, Founder and Chairman, The Skoll Foundation

Benetech’s credibility as a nonprofit focused on empowering social change is unique among the tech community. Their scalable technology solutions are recognized as driving real, sustainable social impact.

Kevin Lo, President, Genalyte, Inc.

As classrooms rapidly embrace digital learning environments, Benetech Mathshare promises to usher in a new area of digital math that better meets the needs of today’s learners and tomorrow’s employers.

Hina Baloch, General Motors Manager, Global Social Impact and STEM Education

I remember thinking that I would never learn how to read, but Bookshare put me in my own world, and I found out that this is how everybody feels when they read.

Emery Lower, Sixth grade student and Bookshare user

It’s my hope that all people with reading disabilities such as dyslexia are able to use Bookshare to succeed in the classroom and become lifelong learners.

Brian Meersma, Bookshare user (student and adult)

I’m not sure when I started getting Bookshare books, but it’s been a love affair the whole way.

Katherine Schneider, Bookshare adult user
