The survey<https://goo.gl/forms/RjbKgb3rAMiMa3W02> will open today, Thursday, at 10:00AM.  Only the first 30 applicants will be awarded the kit.


The Braille and Talking Book Library and the Michigan Department of Education- Low Incidence Outreach, in collaboration with the Library of Michigan, are offering public libraries in Michigan the opportunity to host Braille Enhanced StoryWalk• at their libraries again in 2018!

This is a great opportunity for any public library that wants to do a StoryWalk• at their location or collaborate with a local park. Not only can you provide an exciting new program for your patrons, but by including the braille, your library is helping embrace accessibility and equal access to information. Our straight-forward, easy to use kit will provide step-by-step instructions for setting up your StoryWalk• and using the braille within the program. Register for a kit<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf7SqE9mLKK7LbElDT5T64irQqAjM4-PL2X9ANNHVQS727j6g/viewform?usp=sf_link> starting Thursday, February 22nd - limited kits are available.

  *   Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum by Lisa Wheeler

We’ll provide:

  *   3 copies of the selected book to make your signs
  *   StoryWalk• Instruction Guide that includes the how’s & why’s of hosting a StoryWalk•
  *   Step-by-step instruction sheet
  *   Braille overlay stickers that you will attach to the signs -OR- Select to have pages come individually laminated, however they will be pre-brailled so you will have to mount them directly to signs.
