Attention Librarians in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin: For those who are serving blind or visually impaired students in your libraries, please be sure to share this information with your students (or their teachers). It's a great way to place a couple of braille book in the hands of student over the summer (and allow them to build their own personal libraries.) This is a great company that I always used for current books in braille for my students in grades pre-K through 8th grade. ********************************************************* Seedlings Braille Books for Children Announces "Keep Kids in Touch" 2008 To our friends in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin, The "Keep Kids in Touch" Program was designed by Seedlings Braille Books for Children to help keep kids "in touch" with books and reading during the summer. Thanks to some very generous donations, we are able to offer two free braille books to every blind child in the states listed above. (Please only register children who are residents of these 7 states.) Pre-readers are also eligible to receive two Print-and-Braille books to enjoy during the summer with their families. Paper registration forms were mailed out XXXXX, but why wait? You can register your child or student(s) online right now! Just go to: www.seedlings.org and click on "Special Projects" and then on "Keep Kids in Touch". Check out the other Special Projects while you are there! Since the books will be mailed sometime between May and July, we need to use home addresses for the children. Please be assured that all information is kept strictly confidential. Seedlings does not sell, rent, or give its mailing lists to anyone. The registration deadline is May 1, 2008, but avoid the rush ... register now! Best wishes and happy reading, Debra J. Bonde, Director Seedlings Braille Books for Children 800-777-8552 www.seedlings.org "Placing a book in a child's hands is like planting a seed!" ***************** ~Shonda -- Shonda Brisco, BA Ed., MLIS Library Media / Technology Specialist Weatherford, TX 76086 Digital Bookends wiki / blog: http://digitalbookends.pbwiki.com http://shonda.edublogs.org/ sbrisco@gmail.com Resources for Texas School Librarians: http://txschoollibrarians.ning.com/ http://txschoollibrarians.wikispaces.com/ "Digital Resources" columnist School Library Journal -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
