Beulah Reimer Legacy (BRL)
welcomes 2013
Thanks to everyone who made 2012 a great year for BRL. With your help,
hundreds of books flew off our shelves and into waiting hands.
What does this mean for 2013? We will continue to meet your Braille needs
with a large variety of high-quality, low-cost print/Braille children's
picture books while seeking more ways to put Braille at your fingertips.
And We're Off and Running
January 3, 2013 is the last day to order our BRL Holiday Reading Grab Bag.
Each grab bag contains four print/Braille children's picture books, chosen
by BRL, with your child's reading level and interests in mind. The cost of
this unique gift is a mere twenty dollars.
Friday, January 4, BRL celebrates the birth anniversary of Louis Braille
with our Louis Braille commemorative drawing. We will draw a name from our
list of people who purchased books and/or flash cards from BRL in 2012. The
lucky winner will receive a free BRL book of their choice.
Friday, March 1-Monday, March 4: Read Across America Weekend. To
commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr. Seuss, BRL will be offering some
great Braille bargains for those who order books from our website. More
details will be announced later.
Sunday, May 12, BRL celebrates the birth of Beulah Reimer, the person for
whom BRL was named. What better way to remember Grandma Beulah than to give
away a book. BRL will draw a name from the list of people who have purchased
books in 2013.
Tuesday, August 20, BRL celebrates its third birthday by giving away three
books.

Other BRL Services
Is there a book that you would like brailled which is not in our catalog?
If so, let us know. We may be able to Braille it for you. During the past
year, BRL has added Braille to several books upon request.
Ever want to do a little brailling of your own? No problem. BRL has free
paper snippets that we will send to our customers.
Would you like to continue enjoying your favorite stories, despite wear
and tear. Do you have a BRL book that has been loved a little too much? BRL
is able to do some minor book repairs.
BRL's mission is to increase Braille literacy and reading opportunities by
placing Braille in the hands of eager readers.
All our books are brailled in contracted (grade two) Braille with clear
plastic strips which are placed on or near the printed text. Our sight word
flash cards are written in both grade one and grade two Braille so that
readers can learn spelling as well as contracted forms of words. Our
materials are all shipped free of charge. Please allow two weeks for
delivery within the United States. BRL accepts checks, money orders,
purchase orders and payment online via Pay Pal.
