child reading brailleThe National Braille Press's Children's Book Club promotes literacy for blind children where it begins with sighted children--right in the home with bedtime story books. Regular children's picture story books, donated by the publishers, are remanufactured to combine print and braille cleverly page for page, so that a sighted parent and blind child can read together from the same book. (In some cases the parent is blind and the child is sighted.) NBP publishes one new title each month. The annual cost to NBP for this program, over and above the donated print books and the sales proceeds, is more than $170,000. Donors who make a gift to National Braille Press in the amount of $7,500 to $15,000 or more, have the opportunity to be the exclusive sponsor of a forthcoming publication. Individuals who choose to underwrite a book in this manner gain the satisfaction of knowing exactly how his or her gifts will be appreciated and used. Please help us sponsor a braille book, thereby giving the gift of reading to a blind child.
