[nabs-l] Learning grade 2 braille in other languages

[Greg Aikens]

Hi Julie,
I heard of another student getting materials from a German library for the blind.  I don't know the name of the library but perhaps check out some of the links on this list of international libraries for the blind:
http://blindreaders.info/forlibs.html

Hope this helps.
