In 1997 the AAF started this program to provide blind children a free Braille book every month from a popular children’s reading series. The books are for the children to keep and collect for as long as they want them. The titles published every month are the same titles that are available in bookstores and public libraries everywhere. In the past ten years over one hundred seventy titles from popular children’s reading series were distributed to thousands of blind children.

Because reading interests and trends change, the AAF periodically reviews and changes the titles offered. See application below for the 2008 selections.

Participants may choose to receive all or any combination of these titles, as they like. And the books are free and theirs to keep. Blind youth, blind parents, teachers of the blind, schools, and libraries serving the blind are eligible to participate in this program. Participants may enroll in or withdraw from the program at any time.
