This series includes such works as the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence in Braille. Our Twin Vision books include such titles as The Presidents of the United States and Great Americans in the Hall of Fame. This series is designed to help young readers learn about American history. The Great Documents series is a specialized part of our library and is of interest to blind students in junior high and beyond. Blind children, like their sighted friends, want to learn about everything from dinosaurs to musical instruments.
Blind children are excited about showing their pictures to sighted friends.
Sighted children begin to understand that picture books are fun for blind kids, too. The services and materials provided by the Kenneth Jernigan Library have significantly changed the lives of blind and deaf-blind persons throughout the world. In the field of education, blind students have been given an incentive to read and explore a new dimension through the medium of raised illustrations, which allow blind children to feel the same pictures their sighted friends enjoy. The world-wide distribution of this material is unequaled in kind by any other organization serving the blind, and all services and material are free on request. The Kenneth Jernigan Library for Blind Children utilizes many dedicated, hard-working volunteers.
