[Nfbnet-members-list] Books Needed for Braille Book Fair

[April Enderton]

Attention all Braille readers, teachers, parents, Grandparents ''',

If you would like to donate print/Braille 
children's picture books to the 2015 Braille Book 
Fair, but have no books to donate, BRL can help. Go to:

www.beulahreimerlegacy.com

We have over 1000 titles of the most popular 
print/Braille children's picture books from which 
to choose. Our books are of superior quality and 
are affordably priced. You can specify that we 
ship them to convention for you or we can ship to 
you directly. Either way, you will have the 
pleasure of contributing to the reading experience of a child.

BRL'S mission is to promote Braille literacy and 
reading opportunities by placing Braille in the hands of eager readers.

Also, be sure to stock up on BRL books for your Braille reader this summer.

Happy reading.

 > 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:
 >
