*Upcoming Youth Events*

*Please join LBPH as we host several events across the state.  There will

*Make and Take Braille Book*

Location:             Glen Burnie Regional Library


                           1010 Eastway, Glen Burnie, MD 21060

Date:                    *Monday, March 9th*



Reading stimulates the imagination, stirs the emotions, and provokes
thought. As many sighted children are exposed to letters, words, and books
each day from a very young age, a child who is blind or visually impaired
should be exposed to braille within his or her environment long before
beginning to read.  Join the youth librarian from The Maryland Library for
the Blind and Physically Handicapped, as we learn helpful tips and make an
accessible braille book.  Each family that attends will receive an
assortment of free braille books to encourage early literacy.


*Build a Better Book Workshop*

Location:             Anne Arundel County Public Library

                           Linthicum Community Library

Date:                   *Monday, March 16th*


How do you make a book better for all?  The Maryland State Library for the
Blind and Physically Handicapped (LBPH) will partner together with public
libraries to execute the Build a Better Book Project. The purpose of this
project is to help middle and high school youth develop technology skills
and learn about STEAM careers.  Youth will learn about Universal Design
Principles to design and create accessible, multi-modal picture books,
graphics, and games that can be seen, touched, and heard.  Join us and
learn more.
