Braille Institute
One of the more gratifying and enjoyable speaking appearances was at the Braille
Institute in Los Angeles, for a "Celebrate Reading" event that drew an audience
of more than 300. The Library is part of a national network that provides books,
magazines and other brailled and recorded materials for loan to more than 30,000
blind, visually impaired, physically handicapped and reading disabled patrons in
Southern California.
