[il-talk] Read a GD BRL Book Lately?

[Joshua Hendrickson]

It's a young adult book, but I just bought The Witch of Blackbird Pond
about a girl during the time of the Salem Witch Trials, and the book
is quite good.  The reading group sounds interesting, but can the
braille books be easily gotten?  I mean, I know Illinois has talking
book libraries, but do they each have braille copies of the same
books?  Does the group all read the same book, or do they use
different books?  Thanks.
