Did you know today is World Braille Day? In November 2018 the UN General Assembly "decided to proclaim 4 January as World Braille Day, recognizing that the full realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms relies on an inclusive written promotion." Check out these links for more information and maybe even learn some Braille yourself!... https://hadley.edu/learn?topic_id=15 https://www.sciencebuddies.org/stem-activities/braille https://nnels.ca/welcome-nnels https://www.pathstoliteracy.org//celebrate-braille-literac https://www.un.org/en/observances/braille-day/background https://www.pathstoliteracy.org/teaching-braille-young-chil https://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/programs/readbooks/readbooks.html

We are starting the new year with a bang! On January 4th we are updating our current library system to a brand new one! This means that our online catalog and checking your account will be disabled for a few days. This shouldn't interrupt the use of our digital collection (elibraries and rbdigital) and we will still be open for curbside pickup for items (just call or email us). We are super excited about the change and can't wait for everyone to use it!
