Braille Book Fair 2015
Calling all Braille readers, teachers, and parents!
It’s that time again: Time to sort through all
those boxes of Braille books and donate those
gently used but no longer needed Braille books to
the 2015 Braille Book Fair sponsored by the
National Organization of Parents of Blind Children.
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:
· PRINT/BRAILLE STORY BOOKS (AKA TWIN
VISION)
We are looking into have 750 print
braille books to celebrate the 75th anniversary of NFB
· books in good condition
· leisure reading (fiction or nonfiction) books
· cookbooks and POETRY
Children are so hungry for their very own books
that every year, despite generous donations of
books, 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:
UPS
ELAINNA MOORE - HR DEPT
8901 ATLANTIC AVE
ORLANDO, FL 32824
Please note that you are shipping the books to a
UPS address (where they will be stored until
convention), but all books can be shipped FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND.
As an additional step of assistance to us on the
day of the book fair, we would greatly appreciate
if you would label the side of the box with what
it contains. You can list book titles, or simply
label the category that the books fit under. Our categories are:
· PRINT/BRAILLE (TWIN VISION)
· PREK-KINDERGARTEN
· GRADES 1-2
· GRADES 3-4
· GRADES 5-6
· YOUNG ADULT FICTION
· ADULT FICTION
· ADULT NONFICTION
· SPORTS
· POETRY
· RELIGIOUS/FAITH
·
