[nfbmi-talk] seedlings free book....

[gkitchen]

 Hi Tonya,

I don't think N B P has a free book program for children. I think I would 
have heard because I look at their web site  bnow and then.

Christian Record does offer  four or five books free that have the braille 
and large print also. It is a one time thing per customer. I haven't gotten 
them. Maybe sometime if I have little ones to read to.

Well, I think I will check out the Economist on Newsline.

Best,
Georgia

>>
>> The Detroit Free Press has again generously funded the Gift of Reading 
>> Program for 2010. This means that all Michigan VI children who are 
>> braille readers (or pre-readers) can register to receive one free braille 
>> book from Seedlings Braille Books for Children for the holidays (you list 
>> 3 choices and we will send one of them)!
>>
