[Nfbn-announce] Donations of Braille Books Needed

[Amy Buresh]

	Calling all Braille readers! It's that time again: Time to sort 
through all those boxes of Braille books in your basement or spare 
room, and donate those
gently used but no longer needed Braille books to the 2012 Braille 
Book Fair sponsored by the National Organization of Parents of Blind 
Children and the
National Association to Promote the Use of Braille.  Our primary goal 
is to get more Braille books into the hands of children, youth, and 
beginning adult
readers, so here's what we need most: Books in good condition, 
print-Braille picture storybooks, and leisure reading (fiction or 
nonfiction) books. Cookbooks
are always in demand, as are books about sports. Children are so 
hungry for their very own books that every year, despite generous 
donations, most of our
books for young children are gone in less than an hour.  So, begin 
your search through the boxes in your basement and spare room and get 
those books shipped
to:

Vanessa Pena

10155 Monroe

Dallas, TX 75229

NOTE:  Yes, you can ship them Free Matter for the Blind via the Post 
Office.  Please keep volumes together if at all possible.

This year's coordinator is Barbara Cheadle.  If you have any 
questions, you may contact Barbara Cheadle at (410) 747-3472 or email her at
bacheadle at msn.com.
  This year's event is slated to take place on Monday, July 2. Please 
check your agenda for the time and room.
