[Nfbmt] Braille Book Fair 2016

[Breslauers]

The Braille Book Fair is meant to redistribute gently used Braille books from
persons who have them and have read them but no longer need or want them to
persons who want to read them.  It is held at the National Convention and is
free.

You can borrow Braille books from a Braille book lending library.  Check with
your state library as to how this is done.

If you want to purchase Braille books, one source is the American Printing
House for the Blind.  They are expensive.

Another source is the National Braille Press.  They more often have tutorials
or books on how to use different computer programs, but they also have
cookbooks and other books.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Joy

Hi Joy. How would someone like me go about purchasing one of these braille
books? Or purchasing braille books from another place?
