	Dear Marty,     

	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 hope to reach many more people
interested in our free offerings in South Carolina.   

	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
clicking here. [1] We are very active on our Facebook [2], Instagram
[3], and Twitter feed [4] 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
info at xaviersocietyfortheblind.org   

	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.   

	We would also be happy to coordinate the mailing of _The Funny
Alphabet_. This is a great book that teaches babies and young children
the braille alphabet, with tactile examples for each letter (i.e. a
koala bear for the letter K). It is available in English and Spanish.
The video attached highlights this and some of our other offerings
available to children and young adults.      

	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:   

	 ·  _La Biblia: Introducción a la Sagrada Escritura_ por Rafael
Ramirez 

	 ·  _Guadalupe y el Misterio del Verbo Encarnado_ por Xavier
Fernandez 

	 ·  _La Misa Explicada_ por Padre Larry Richards 

	 ·  _El Santo Rosario_ por Ruben Quezada 

	 ·  _Tender un Puente_ por James Martin, SJ 

	 ·  _365 Días Acompañados Por Los Santos_ por Carmen Aguinaco
(read by the author) 

	 ·  _Guía de Bolsillo para Rezar el Rosario _por Matt Fradd    

	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 _365 Días Acompañados por los Santos_
available in hard copy braille and BRF.     

	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! I have also attached some flyers that might be helpful
with our latest releases in braille and audio, as well as our complete
Talking Book catalog.     

	If you need any more information, or know of anyone in need of our
services, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thanks again!
