I got a press release for an interesting sounding event at the American Printing House for the Blind.

WHO: The public is invited to join the staff of the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) and “Sound Prints” co-host Carla Ruschival.

WHAT: A celebration for Louis Braille's Birthday, National Braille Literacy month, and the 150th Anniversary of American Printing House for the Blind. Admission is free.

WHERE: Callahan Museum, American Printing House for the Blind, 1839 Frankfort Avenue, Louisville, KY

WHEN: Saturday, January 5, 2008, 1:00pm -3:00pm (Reservation deadline is January 4, call 899-2365 for reservations.)

DETAILS: Louis Braille was born January 4, 1809 in France. American Printing House for the Blind was chartered January 23, 1858.

Come celebrate these two memorable birthdays with us at the Callahan Museum. Join the staff of the museum for cake, learn more about the life of Louis Braille, and see a demonstration of Braille books being read, as we celebrate literacy for people with vision loss.
