[Ohio-talk] Barnes and Noble

Fri Nov 7 00:23:06 UTC 2008

	I just checked the Braille Book store,
http://www.braillebookstore.com/view.php?C=Books+for+Children 

	You can get the Cat and the Hat in Grade 2 Braille for 14.95.

	For this type of book, the left page will have print, and the right
page will have Braille.  I used this type of books for my daughter, who is
sighted, when she was younger and she really liked them.

	My chapter is not selling their own books, Barns and Nobles is, and
a percentage of what they sell during the time we are there goes towards our
chapter.

	If you need to get some books in Braille see the following link:
http://www.braillebookstore.com/

	I am also going to try to contact the Blind Parents division and see
if I can get the Braille books that have print where the Braille is also.  I
am sure APH has resources we can use also.  

	If anyone has any good links (websites) that we can order books like
I am talking about pleas let me know.

Thanks
Vince

Hi All,
Your plan sounds great, Vince.
Barbara, thanks for the reminder about what the Card says.
Vince, what kind of books is your Chapter selling?
Does anyone have a couple of Children's Books we can borrow?
Thanks,
Colleen Roth
