Reading stimulates the imagination, stirs the emotions, and provokes thought. As many sighted children are exposed to letters, words, and books each day from a very young age, a child who is blind or visually impaired should be exposed to braille within his or her environment long before beginning to read.  Join the youth librarian from The Maryland Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, as we learn helpful tips and make an accessible braille book.  Each family that attends will receive an assortment of free braille books to encourage early literacy.
