Braille Book Fair 2013
Calling all Braille readers, teachers, and parents! It’s that time again: Time to sort through all those boxes of Braille books and donate those gently used but no longer needed Braille books to the 2013 Braille Book Fair sponsored by the National Organization of Parents of Blind Children.
Our primary goal is to get more Braille books into the hands of children, youth, and beginning adult readers, so here’s what we need most:
· books in good condition
· print-Braille picture storybooks
· leisure reading (fiction or nonfiction) books
· cookbooks
· books about sports
Children are so hungry for their very own books that every year, despite generous donations of books, most of our books for young children are gone in less than an hour. So, begin your search through the boxes in your basement and spare room and get those books shipped to:
UPS

Wow! What a fantastic idea for parents of older blind children to donate their print-Braille picture storybooks to younger children. Who doesn’t love to add a new story to his own collection? I do!
