Roberta has accepted the Publications Assistant position with the Montana State Publications Center of the Montana State Library. Some of her new duties include receiving and processing all Federal and State Documents. Also, Roberta and her husband have bought a new home. We ll miss her here in Talking Books but wish her the best with both her moves. The Montana Association for the Blind held their annual Summer Orientation Program on the campus of Montana State University in Bozeman.
Students stay in the dorms on campus and attend classes each day.
The classes cover areas like Braille, cooking, crafts, computers, daily living skills, woodworking, etc. Staff from the MTBL presented information on how to become a patron, search for books, tips on equipment use and answered questions. We suggested they pack light but be sure to include their curiosity, open minds and imaginations. They all met or exceeded their Reading Contract goals. Those who joined us were also given Bonus Point activities to add to their reading fun.
