For those of you who may not have seen this message, the NFB of Utah is 
selling a "library" card containing much NFB information. At only $10, this 
is a very worthwhile item to purchase, as there is much historical 
information about the NFB contained on the card. It will be available at our 
National convention.

Announcing the 2015 NFB Library Card

This is the 2015 Revision of the NFB Library Card. Revision date June 15, 
2015.

Additions:
1. This is an 8 gig SD card. Last year's Library card fit on a 4 gig SD 
card. With all the additional material in this year's revision, there is now 
less than half a gig of unused space on this 8 gig card.
2. This revision contains professional recordings of the last 10 years of 
the Annual Conventions of the National Federation of the Blind.
3. This revision contains 50 live recordings of our beloved NFB Songs.
4. This revision contains the Kernel Books in live mp3 audio format, with 
each Kernel Book in its own folder. These Kernel Book recordings have been 
recently digitized from cassette, by our National Office. Previous revisions 
of the Library card made use of partially synthesized recordings.
5. New folders have been added for Mark Riccobono containing both live 
recordings of his recent speeches and text articles with speeches and bio 
information.
6. Numerous speeches and articles have been added to many of the existing 
folders such as the Jacobus tenBroek, Kenneth Jernigan, Marc Maurer, Parents 
of Blind Children, Schroeder, miscellaneous,, and others.
7. A new folder has been added with Materials for Blind Parents.
8. A new folder has been added for materials in Spanish from the NFB of 
Puerto Rico.
9. A new folder has been added, entitled, "So You Don't See As Well As You 
Used To", containing material for older people who are experiencing 
declining vision.
10. A Newsletter article has been added, from 1940, reporting on the 
Organizing meeting of the National Federation of the Blind in Wilksbarre, 
Pennsylvania, on November 16, 1940. It was published by the Pennsylvania 
Federation in the Winter 1940 edition of their newsletter, entitled, "We Are 
The Blind".

Of course this 2015 NFB Library Card also contains all of the items in our 
previous versions, including, but not limited to:
1. All available banquet speeches by Jacobus tenBroek, Kenneth Jernigan and 
Marc Maurer, going back to 1952. These speeches are in live mp3 audio, as 
well as in text, to allow for doing word searches, and cutting and pasting 
into other documents.
2. Five DAISY books with Enhanced Navigation, allowing for more efficient 
access to important parts of these books. These books include "Walking Alone 
and Marching Together", Kenneth Jernigan, The Master, The Mission, The 
Movement, narrated by Marc Maurer; and "Freedom for the Blind, The Secret is 
Empowerment" by James H. Omvig.
3. There are literally hundreds of other books, articles, speeches and 
documents, arranged into folders by subject, for easier access. These 
folders include, Parents of Blind Children, Materials for Blind Parents, 
Students, and for Leaders of local chapter and state affiliates of the 
National Federation of the Blind.
4. There are folders of important historical documents such as the minutes 
of the original organizing meeting of the National Federation of the Blind 
held in Wilksbarre, Pennsylvania in 1940, a 4-part series of interviews with 
Newell Perry, teacher and mentor of Jacobus tenBroek, and the live mp3 audio 
of the speech Jacobus tenBroek gave at the funeral of Newell Perry.
