Dear friends,


Story Time with National Library Services for the Blind and Physically
Handicapped (NLS) – Saturday, April 14, 11:00 AM.

We invite you to our very special Story Time this Saturday in the Library
of Congress Young Readers Center. In an effort to increase the visibility
of the Library’s promotion of accessibility to its diverse audiences of
children and families, this spring-themed story time will be presented by
Young Readers Center staff in partnership with National Library Services to
the Blind and Physically Handicapped. Join us to enjoy print-braille books,
songs, rhymes, and explore the world of accessibility! *For more
information contact us at **YRC at Loc.gov <YRC at Loc.gov>** or **202-707-1950*
*.*

*The Visitor Services Office is offering a Touch History Tour this
Saturday at 9:30 AM. Please see below for more information.*

*Touch History Tour – Saturday, April 14, 9:30 AM*

Visitors are invited to experience a unique walking tour of the Thomas
Jefferson Building. The Touch History tour is led by a specially trained
docent, who uses vivid language to describe the building. Combined with the
docent’s descriptions and stories of the institution as a whole, the
hands-on approach is designed to leave visitors with an enriched picture of
the aesthetics of the Thomas Jefferson Building. Participants will be able
to feel various shapes, wall carvings and sculptural elements. The
Architect of the Capitol has also provided materials, such as pieces of
marble and granite, that allow an intimate encounter with the variety of
textures and the weights of materials used in the building’s construction.* For
more information contact Visitor Services at VSO at Loc.gov
<VSO at Loc.gov> or 202-707-9779 <(202)%20707-9779>.*

We hope to see you this weekend!


Sincerely,

The Young Readers Center
