                        Coffee Beans + Braille = New Starbucks Menu

                        To promote Starbucks' new braille menu in Sao Paolo, Brazil, a special version was created using coffee beans to spell out the menu items.  

                        Coffee beans are stuck to a replica of an oversized Starbucks napkin placed on a wall.  

                        Starbucks hopes that everyone can enjoy their coffee "from the tip of the fingers to the tip of the tongue."    Learn More»

                        Tour NBP and Witness a Labor of Love 

                        At NBP, we welcome visitors! The Duffy family from New Hampshire recently visited and mom, Penny, wrote about it in her blog.  We liked it so much, we posted an excerpt in our blog, Inside NBP. 

                        "It was exciting when we got to the door because it was locked and you had to ring the buzzer to get let in.  But wait, remember, this is National Braille Press and on the door in braille was the directions to hit the buzzer.  Abby read the door and hit the buzzer so we could be let in."
