The guiding purposes of National Braille Press are to promote the literacy of blind children through braille and to provide access to information that empowers blind people to actively engage in work, family, and community affairs.
NBP recently celebrated reading and braille literacy during Read Across America. Watch this video of an NBP staff member reading Oh, The Places You'll Go! to a local 3rd grade class.
On May 8th, NBP hosted a reading event at the Hill House, a non-profit children's organization located in Beacon Hill. NBP Trustee, Jayne Donahue of State Street Corporation, and NBP friend and TVI, Kate Crohan read from our print/braille editions of Make Way for Ducklings, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and Goodnight Moon, then let the children explore the braille books.

The last chapter includes tips from blind students - who use their iPads daily - and one very committed parent.
