National Braille Press is again partnering with Verizon and their DIAL (Disability Issues Awareness Leaders) group in Verizon's annual Season's Readings literacy campaign. The Season's Readings campaign seeks to provide books and promote literacy for children during the holiday season with donations from Verizon employees.

This year, Verizon/DIAL will support braille literacy through the Adopt-A-Library program.

Books that will be provided include:

Titles include:

  • Merry Christmas, Curious George
  • The Eight Nights of Chanukah
  • Arthur Writes a Story, and Dad
  • Jackie and Me (a book about Jackie Robinson)

Board books with braille stickers which introduce blind children to braille as their reading medium.
Titles include:

  • Animal Kisses
  • The Belly Button Book
  • Quiet Loud

Titles include:

  • the Harry Potter series
  • Braille.com and Beyond (a book on how to navigate the internet)
