❤️ Happy #NationalBookLoversDay! ❤️ We’re celebrating by sharing top book picks from some of the Perlego Team… 📚 Femi: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer - “I appreciate the way the author describes the problem of franticness and unprioritised busyness in today’s world. I used our Read Aloud feature to listen to the book on my commutes home and got through it in a week!” https://lnkd.in/e_6Jphnx 📚 Sam: Frankenstein by Mary Shelly - “I first read “Frankenstein” at 17, sparking my passion for Gothic and Romantic literature that I explored throughout university. I’m captivated by its ahead-of-its-time exploration of relentless ambition and philosophical questions about nature vs. nurture and isolation.” https://lnkd.in/ees4xH28 📚 Tracy: Greek Mythology: Gods, Goddesses, The Heroes Handbook by Liv Albert and Sara Richard - “ I’m in awe! This book brought the ancient stories of gods, goddesses, and heroes to life. I loved learning about the origins of these legendary figures and seeing how they connect to the characters we know today.” https://lnkd.in/ePx_Qs8w 📚 Oliver: Cruel Optimism by Lauren Berlant - “A must read masterwork from a theorist of a generation, Berlant distills 30+ years of cultural scholarship to account for an incoherent world in constant crisis and offer a description of the political subjectivity to survive it.” https://lnkd.in/ePSv_xNJ Which book are you delving into today? Drop us your pick in the comments! #BookLoversDay #AmReading #BookWorm

This month, let’s challenge some myths about digital inclusion, and discover recommended reads about accessibility on Perlego. Feel free to add your suggestions in the comments below too! Unlocking Digital Inclusion Myths vs Facts 1️⃣ Myth one: Accessibility is only for people with disabilities. Fact: Digital accessibility benefits everyone, including: aging populations, people with temporary disabilities, and individuals with learning difficulties. BONUS FACT: did you know Siri was created to address an accessibility need? 2️⃣ Myth two: Accessibility is expensive & time-consuming. Fact: While the journey towards accessibility might seem challenging, embracing accessibility design principles from the beginning makes it easier to continue building from a solid foundation. 3️⃣ Myth three: Making websites accessible is optional. Fact: Embracing accessibility from the beginning makes it easier to continue building from a solid foundation. This fosters trust and credibility while saving time and energy in the long run. Expand your digital inclusion knowledge during Disability Pride Month and beyond with these books on Perlego: 📖 A web for everyone, by Sarah Horton & Whitney Quesenbery: https://lnkd.in/dDneXer9 📖 Accessibility for everyone, by Laura Kalbag: https://lnkd.in/dmBZe6UN 📖 Building for everyone, by Annie Jean-Baptiste: https://lnkd.in/d5rGymD7 #DigitalInclusion #DisabilityPrideMonth #Accessibility #InclusionMatters
