Lets send this kid some books

I wrote the reporter to see if he could tell me what the school does have.

Dear Mr. Simon,
I am a librarian in Florida and a former Buffalonian. Your story was linked to LISNews.com, a website run by a Buffalo area librarian Blake Carver.
Would you be able to get a list of the books that Jose's school has in Braille, or a contact for the school librarian? I would like to send a few more along, and I bet some other librarians would too. We would want to avoid duplicating those the school already has.


I'll send a couple of books up to this kid's school so if they send a list I'll post it somewhere in case anyone else wants to send this kid a book too.


Sometimes being a librarian is fun.
