Just about every student here learns braille, unless they can read type that's not too much bigger than the type you see on the screen. We have a great library here, filled with picture books and reference books, magazines and all kinds of books in braille and large print. It's also the sub-regional library for the federal talking book program, so we have access to more books than most students do.
