National Braille Press is again partnering with Verizon and their DIAL group (Disability Issues Awareness Leaders) 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. This program will provide braille books and educational materials to blind children at two schools for the blind: the Concordia Learning Center at St. Joseph's School for the Blind in New Jersey and the New York Institute for Special Education. Some braille and print/braille offerings from National Braille Press include:

Children's storybooks in the print/braille format that allow parents and children to read together.
Titles include:

  • Curious George Take a Train
  • Helen Keller: The World in Her Heart
  • Knots on a Counting Rope

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