Braille Book Fair 2013
\n<\/i><\/b>Calling all Braille readers, teachers, and parents! It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Our primary goal is to get more Braille books into the hands of children, youth, and beginning adult readers, so here\u2019s what we need most:
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 books in good condition
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 print-Braille picture storybooks
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 leisure reading (fiction or nonfiction) books
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 cookbooks
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 books about sports<\/p>\n
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<\/b>.\u00a0 So, begin your search through the boxes in your basement and spare room and get those books shipped to:<\/p>\n
