greetings,

I'm Keri Hurst a blind individual from Lerona West Virginia. I'm working
with the local public library to get a braille collection started in
Princeton West Virginia. As a young child I always wished to go to the
local library and pull a book down off the shelf to read or checkout
just like every other child. So I decided to try to get a program
started at the local library. I'm thrilled that the library has accepted
my offer to start a braille collection.

We are currently looking for donations of all kinds of braille books
from children to adult. If you would like to contribute or could offer
any advice or assistance. Please feel free to contact me by email:
