<div align="center">Braille Book Fair 2015<br><br>
</i>Calling all Braille readers, teachers, and parents!<br><br>
</b></div>
It’s that time again: Time to sort through all those boxes of Braille
books and donate those gently used but no longer needed Braille books to
the 2015 Braille Book Fair sponsored by the National Organization of
Parents of Blind Children. <br><br>
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:
<br><br>
· PRINT/BRAILLE STORY BOOKS
(AKA TWIN VISION) … We are looking into have <b>750 print braille books
to celebrate the 75<sup>th</sup> anniversary of NFB<br><br>
</b>· books in good
condition<br><br>
· leisure reading (fiction or
nonfiction) books <br><br>
· cookbooks and POETRY<br><br>
Children are so hungry for their very own books that every year, despite
generous donations of books, most of our books for young children are
gone in <b>less than an hour</b>. So, begin your search through the
boxes in your basement and spare room and get those books shipped
to:<br><br>
UPS <br>
ELAINNA MOORE - HR DEPT<br>
8901 ATLANTIC AVE<br>
ORLANDO, FL 32824<br><br>
<br><br>
<b>Please note that you are shipping the books to a UPS address (where
they will be stored until convention), but all books can be shipped FREE
MATTER FOR THE BLIND.<br><br>
<br><br>
</b>As an additional step of assistance to us on the day of the book
fair, we would greatly appreciate if you would label the side of the box
with what it contains. You can list book titles, or simply label the
category that the books fit under. Our categories are:<br><br>
<br><br>
· PRINT/BRAILLE (TWIN
VISION)<br><br>
· PREK-KINDERGARTEN<br><br>
· GRADES 1-2<br><br>
· GRADES 3-4<br><br>
