[Pibe-division] braille and LP books need a home

[Jaquiss, Robert]

Hello:

     Here is the information for the Braille Flea Market.

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.

Hello,
Over the next few weeks, our department will be clearing out and getting rid of Braille and large print textbooks. At this moment, I do not have a "list" but it will be a variety of grade levels and content areas. In the past, I had addresses of a couple of places that would accept discarded materials but my computer went kaflooey and I lost my contacts.  Who know where I can send Braille and large print textbooks. IF there are Braille literature books, I will probably give them to the Braille flea market. Help!
Thanks,
