The Washington Talking Book & Braille Library is presenting a free introduction to braille workshop Tuesday, February 4 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Library’s conference room, hosted by WTBBL volunteers Keiko Namekata and Dana Marmion.

If you’ve ever wondered “What is braille? What can braille do for me? Would I be able to learn braille? ,” this class is a great opportunity to get answers to your questions or just satisfy your curiosity!

Braille is critically important to the lives of those who are visually impaired or blind as it provides the ability to read and write, and in this course you will learn braille basics, some history, do tactile exercises, and learn information on ways braille can be helpful in our daily lives.

Please join us for a two-hour introduction to the braille system by calling WTBBL at (206) 615-0400 to RSVP.

The event will be held at the Washington Talking Book & Braille Library, 2021 9th Avenue, Seattle, 98121. Free parking is available.

The Washington Talking Book & Braille Library is a program of the Washington State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State.  WTBBL provides services statewide, at the library and by mail, to any Washington resident unable to read standard print material due to blindness, visual impairment, deaf-blindness, physical disability (cannot hold a book or turn pages), or reading disability.
