What makes a tactile map a pleasure to read and practical to use? Spoiler alert: it's often different from what works for a visual map. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Begin or continue your tactile map-making journey with renowned tactile designer Naomi Rosenberg of the Material and Accessible Design Lab at the LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco. This workshop will cover key map vocabulary, questions to ask yourself while designing, how to use labels and symbols, how to choose what appears on the map, and much more. The session will cover techniques that sighted and blind designers can use: no specific equipment or prior experience is required. After the session, you'll be ready to take on the challenge of designing your first tactile map, and interested patrons can sign up for a small-group map-making challenge that focuses on New York City parks and landmarks! <o:p></o:p></p><p>This online workshop is open to everyone: thanks to the American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults for making it possible!<br>Register below:<o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://nypl.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcvd-CtqDgpHteKwZskFrlwNic7Tc3J21ON">https://nypl.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcvd-CtqDgpHteKwZskFrlwNic7Tc3J21ON</a><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span class=gmailsignatureprefix>-- </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Chancey S.
