[blindkid] Audio reading book for Library

[oandemom .]

I agree, he just needs to practice  to increase speed with braille.  Now as
he gets to HS and college, by all means I can see audio being used due to
volume of reading, but I would think in 6th he could still be reading
braille, maybe a fun book in audio could be a reward for something?
