Hello all,

Help Us Celebrate

 

The Friends of the Maryland Library for the Blind and Print Disabled needs your help to celebrate the 30th anniversary of getting a new home to house the library. The state of Maryland built a brand-new building for the library on 415 Park Ave in 1992. In partnership with the American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults, we are offering any patron who is interested three Braille books about children with disabilities that you may keep. Learn about the exploits of a blind child, a child in a wheelchair, and an autistic and nonverbal child who attend Mortimer Potts Elementary School. Children and adults will enjoy such characters as Mitzi Mufflin and her cane, Tappity as she navigates her way through the challenges of becoming principal for the day. Let us know if you want these books in  hardcopy Braille or in an electronic format to read on your e-reader Braille display. Send an email to the library at  <mailto:reference.desk at maryland.gov> reference.desk at maryland.gov . The books will be awarded on a first come first serve basis, so get your requests in quickly, but no later than September 15, 2022.

Join the fun and continue the celebration! Come to the Friends annual meeting to enjoy a presentation and meet the author of these books, Elizabeth Cooper. 

Date: Saturday, October 29

 Time:10 am – 12 pm

 Place: Library for the Blind and Print Disabled, 415 Park Avenue

The event will also be available on Zoom. We will provide the link closer to the event. 

 

Be looking for an email in October telling you how to RSVP for this event. 

Thanks

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
