> Have you ever wondered what the original Braille code as written by its inventor, Louis Braille, included? Are you fascinated by the variety of tools for Braille writing and embossing that people have used since Braille was introduced almost two centuries ago? What about alternate tactile writing systems: what happened to them?
> Join us for a virtual visit with the Museum Director of the American Printing House for the Blind. Mike Hudson will share highlights from Braille's rich history and describe some of the intriguing items in the APH museum collection.
> Anyone is welcome. Our weekly remote Braille Study Group is an evolution of the in-person group hosted at the New York Library's Andrew Heiskell Braille & Talking Book branch. Whether you're new to Braille or a seasoned reader; blind, sighted, or somewhere in between; local or far away, we welcome you for fellowship, learning and encouragement on your Braille literacy journey.
