Hello all,

We need lots of participation in the event below.  We need to demonstrate community participation while promoting NFB and MLBPH.  I have already started the book and it is very interesting. Hope to see everyone on September 30.

Here is the announcement:




Final Stop:

One Maryland One Book Tour



The Maryland State Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (MLBPH), the Baltimore Rowing Club (BRC), and the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), along with the Maryland Humanities Council, are proud to co-host the final stop of this year's One Maryland One Book tour featuring Daniel James Brown, author of the New York Times best seller The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the

1936 Berlin Olympics. Mr. Brown will speak, answer questions, and sign books at a free event at the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute in Baltimore.



Date: September 30, 2015

Time: 7:00-9:00 p.m.

Place: National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute

200 East Wells Street

Baltimore, MD 21230

Mr. Brown's book, available for order by MLBPH patrons using the book number DB77138, is the dramatic true story of the American rowing team that stunned the world at Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics. Daniel James Brown shares the improbable journey of nine working-class American boys who embodied determination and optimism. The team's friendship, shared adversity, and trust in each other helped them become the legendary team that defeated elite rivals, including the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler.

One Maryland One Book (OMOB), a program of the Maryland Center for the Book at the Maryland Humanities Council, brings diverse groups of Marylanders together in libraries, schools, and communities across the state to share a common reading experience through book discussions and companion programming each September and October.
