[NFBF-L] "Read Different" presentation airing tomorrow Tuesday at 11:00 am featuring the Braille and Talking Books Library - and Task Force Thursday June 9 at 2:00

[Sherri Brun]

Hello, everyone,

 

This is the invitation just circulated from the DBS Communications team -
hope you can tune in! You will see some familiar faces promoting the
Library's services in their own words. If possible, tune in a bit early -
there is a "pre-presentation" loop worth catching.

 

Attached are the flyers in English and Spanish, as well as an introductory
letter explaining the project. Please feel free to circulate to your
contacts.

 

Also, as a reminder, the Task Force will be meeting this week, on Thursday
June 9 at 2:00, kindly hosted by Russ Davis on the usual Zoom address.
Agenda and link to follow.

Thanks!

 

Kathy
