About Our Presenters
For the past seven years, Tim Emmons has served as a Readers’ Adviser and BARD Technical support person for the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped for the state of Alabama. He says, “If it’s Assistive tech, it flashes, hums, beeps, blinks, or does anything cool I’ve got my fingers in it as much as possible.” He is married with two dogs, three cats, and is most notably, a proud new father. He is also a huge lover of books, music, and coffee. You can contact Tim via email.
