❤️ 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?

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.
