viewer through the highlights of Louis's life, the braille production
process, and why braille remains 

important today. 

 

Across the nation, tens of thousands of children and adults who are blind or
visually impaired 

depend on braille every day as their means to independent literacy. 

 

Come celebrate the life of Louis Braille and learn more about the amazing
braille reading system.
