[Home-on-the-range] .about the importance of a Braille library/literacy

Be sure to read Gary Wunder's article concerning braille and spelling, too,
as it goes hand in hand with what Dr. Maurer wrote. Also, the article
Deborah Kent wrote concerning touch is sort of an "eye opener" or a "hand
opener."

Good morning Federationists - June's Braille Monitor, as usual, is full of
interesting, thoughtful and provocative articles. I especially enjoyed, and
reread several times,, article 10, written by Marc Maurer.  as it is full of
personal insights about the value of both reading braille and listening to
talking books,  and using these materials  effectively.  He tells about the
power of libraries in general and  the huge impact of the Library for the
Blind  in particular. The average blind library user, reads 30 books  each
year. This is well more than the  average sighted reader.
 
I love a good story, a well written piece on trending subjects, thinking
about a different way of "seeing" the world from a view I might never
thought about, and having the world brought  to me in a interesting  way
that paints a picture in my mind's eye.  Hope to    visit with each of you
at the upcoming national convention. Dianne
