However, the National Federation Of The Blind Tampa Chapter is not endorsing this, but just sharing and passing on the information. </div><div></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default">Dear Miranda,</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default"><div><div><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default">My name is Aisling Redican, I am Communications and Fundraising Manager for Xavier Society for the Blind in New York City. Xavier Society has been providing free braille, large print, and Talking Books to people who are blind, visually impaired, and print disabled, worldwide since 1900. We have patrons throughout the United States and in 25 other countries and our books aid our patrons in learning about and practicing their Faith. We serve many people in Florida and hope to reach many more interested in our free offerings.<br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">I am also wondering if you could also help us get some information directly to your members. We have hundreds of books available in braille and Talking Book ranging from spiritual and religious to uplifting and 'feel good' titles that are more inspirational than theology based. A complete listing of our titles can be found by <a href="https://xsfb.klas.com/search/search.jsf?f=-Digital+Serial*medium_ss%3ADigital%5C+Serial&p=0&q=&i=_text_&s=-dateadded_dt&l=false&mc=0" target="_blank">clicking here.</a> We are very active on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/XavierSociety" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/xaviersociety/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/XavierSociety" target="_blank">Twitter feed</a> where we share new additions to our catalog, clients stories, and other news pertaining to our organization daily. I would also be happy to mail brochures, flyers, and other informational materials in braille and print if you'd like. People can register with us by giving us a call at 800-637-9193 or emailing us at <a href="mailto:info@xaviersocietyfortheblind.org" target="_blank">info@xaviersocietyfortheblind.org</a></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">One of our biggest lines of service is the Propers of the Mass (basically the missalette), which includes the readings, prayers, and responses to the Mass on Sundays and Special feast days and is available each month in braille, audio, and large print. In addition, we also produce braille textbooks for children in CCD and adults in RCIA.</div><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default">Over the last couple of years, XSB has been trying to reach many more people in need of materials. One of our main initiatives has been to expand our braille and audio offerings in Spanish. We currently have seven audiobooks available in Talking Book format. This format is compatible with the talking book machines provided by the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled. The titles we have are:</div><div class="gmail_default"><ul><li style="margin-left:15px"><i>La Biblia: Introducción a la Sagrada Escritura</i> por Rafael Ramirez</li><li style="margin-left:15px"><i>Guadalupe y el Misterio del Verbo Encarnado</i> por Xavier Fernandez</li><li style="margin-left:15px"><i>La Misa Explicada</i> por Padre Larry Richards</li><li style="margin-left:15px"><i>El Santo Rosario</i> por Ruben Quezada</li><li style="margin-left:15px"><i>Tender un Puente</i> por James Martin, SJ</li><li style="margin-left:15px"><i>365 Días Acompañados Por Los Santos</i> por Carmen Aguinaco (read by the author)</li><li style="margin-left:15px"><i>Guía de Bolsillo para Rezar el Rosario </i>por Matt Fradd<br></li></ul></div><div class="gmail_default"><div>In terms of Spanish braille, we provide the Sundays readings for the Mass in BRF (braille ready file, for anyone with an electronic braille display). We also have <i>365 Días Acompañados por los Santos</i> available in hard copy braille and BRF.</div></div></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">There are PSAs attached in both English and Spanish that we have sent to many organizations throughout the United States, if you could pass these along to your network and members it would be greatly appreciated!
