[Nyabs] listserv and national news

[Kathryn Carroll]

Hi everyone,

As we clearly have had some problems with our listserv, please respond to
me at carroll.kathryn.e at gmail.com to let me know that you are still
receiving emails from NYABS.

In the meantime, check out National's request for Braille books below:
Donations of Braille Books Needed

Calling all Braille readers! It's that time again: Time to sort through all
those boxes of Braille books in your basement or spare room, and donate
those
gently used but no longer needed Braille books to the 2012 Braille Book
Fair sponsored by the National Organization of Parents of Blind Children
and the
National Association to Promote the Use of Braille.  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: Books in good condition,
print-Braille picture storybooks, and leisure reading (fiction or
nonfiction) books. Cookbooks
are always in demand, as are books about sports. Children are so hungry for
their very own books that every year, despite generous donations, most of
our
books for young children are gone in less than an hour.  So, begin your
search through the boxes in your basement and spare room and get those
books shipped
to:

Vanessa Pena

10155 Monroe

Dallas, TX 75229

NOTE:  Yes, you can ship them Free Matter for the Blind via the Post
Office.  Please keep volumes together if at all possible.

This year's coordinator is Barbara Cheadle.  If you have any questions, you
may contact Barbara Cheadle at (410) 747-3472 or email her at
bacheadle at msn.com.
 This year's event is slated to take place on Monday, July 2. Please check
your agenda for the time and room.
