[nfbwatlk] Fwd: [Chapter-presidents] Utah NFB Library Card

[Marci Carpenter]

This SD card is an excellent source for reading lots of NFB speeches, books etc. I would strongly encourage everyone to buy one or more of these. If you have an older version it’s definitely worth getting the new one.

> 3. This revision contains 50 live recordings of our beloved NFB Songs. 
> 4. This revision contains the Kernel Books in live mp3 audio format, with each Kernel Book in its own folder. These Kernel Book recordings have been recently digitized from cassette, by our National Office. Previous revisions of the Library card made use of partially synthesized recordings.
> 5. New folders have been added for Mark Riccobono containing both live recordings of his recent speeches and text articles with speeches and bio information.
> 6. Numerous speeches and articles have been added to many of the existing folders such as the Jacobus tenBroek, Kenneth Jernigan, Marc Maurer, Parents of Blind Children, Schroeder, miscellaneous,, and others.
> 7. A new folder has been added with Materials for Blind Parents.

> 10. A Newsletter article has been added, from 1940, reporting on the Organizing meeting of the National Federation of the Blind in Wilksbarre, Pennsylvania, on November 16, 1940. It was published by the Pennsylvania Federation in the Winter 1940 edition of their newsletter, entitled, "We Are The Blind". 
>  
> Of course this 2015 NFB Library Card also contains all of the items in our previous versions, including, but not limited to:
> 1. All available banquet speeches by Jacobus tenBroek, Kenneth Jernigan and Marc Maurer, going back to 1952. These speeches are in live mp3 audio, as well as in text, to allow for doing word searches, and cutting and pasting into other documents.

These books include "Walking Alone and Marching Together", Kenneth Jernigan, The Master, The Mission, The Movement, narrated by Marc Maurer; and "Freedom for the Blind, The Secret is Empowerment" by James H. Omvig.
> 3. There are literally hundreds of other books, articles, speeches and documents, arranged into folders by subject, for easier access. These folders include, Parents of Blind Children, Materials for Blind Parents, Students, and for Leaders of local chapter and state affiliates of the National Federation of the Blind. 
> 4. There are folders of important historical documents such as the minutes of the original organizing meeting of the National Federation of the Blind held in Wilksbarre, Pennsylvania in 1940, a 4-part series of interviews with Newell Perry, teacher and mentor of Jacobus tenBroek, and the live mp3 audio of the speech Jacobus tenBroek gave at the funeral of Newell Perry.
