> Calling all Braille readers, teachers, and parents!
> 
> It’s that time again: Time to sort through all those boxes of Braille books and donate those gently used but no longer needed Braille books to the 2015 Braille Book Fair sponsored by the National Organization of Parents of Blind Children.   
> 
> Our primary goal is to get more Braille books into the hands of children, youth, and beginning adult readers, so here’s what we need most: 
> 
> ·        PRINT/BRAILLE STORY BOOKS (AKA TWIN VISION) … We are looking into have 750 print braille books to celebrate the 75th anniversary of NFB
> 
> ·        books in good condition
> 
> ·        leisure reading (fiction or nonfiction) books  
> 
> ·        cookbooks and POETRY
> 
> Children are so hungry for their very own books that every year, despite generous donations of books, most of our books for young children are gone in less than an hour.  So, begin your search through the boxes in your basement and spare room and get those books shipped to:
> 
> UPS 
> ELAINNA MOORE - HR DEPT
> 8901 ATLANTIC AVE
> ORLANDO, FL 32824
> 
>  
> 
> Please note that you are shipping the books to a UPS address (where they will be stored until convention), but all books can be shipped FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND.
> 
>  
> 
> As an additional step of assistance to us on the day of the book fair, we would greatly appreciate if you would label the side of the box with what it contains. You can list book titles, or simply label the category that the books fit under. Our categories are:
> 
>  
> 
> ·        PRINT/BRAILLE (TWIN VISION)
> 
> ·        PREK-KINDERGARTEN
> 
> ·        GRADES 1-2
> 
> ·        GRADES 3-4
> 
> ·        GRADES 5-6
> 
> ·        YOUNG ADULT FICTION
> 
> ·        ADULT FICTION
> 
> ·        ADULT NONFICTION
> 
> ·        SPORTS
> 
> ·        POETRY
> 
> ·        RELIGIOUS/FAITH
