[Menvi-discuss] need assistance with brailling materials

[Bettie & Bill Downing]

As I understand the mail, if you are blind you can send things free matter but sighted people have certain limitations on what they can send, whether it's in braille or not.

Unfortunately, they are in print.  I would normally call National Library Service and ask them if they have them or know someone who can Braille them, but due to the government shutdown, they are closed.  Therefore, is there any way someone who transcribes print material into Braille could do these for me? I am hoping to find someone who can do it "Pro Bono." These are just regular print books with no music in them.  I could mail them to your house.  If anyone is able to help, please write me offlist at piano.girl0299 at gmail.com and we can work out the logistics.  I do not have the capability to do this myself.  Since they are being put into Braille, can I use a free matter for the blind stamp?
