With the change of calendar comes an opportunity to create some change of our own. What we would like to change is the level of awareness in New York s schools about how to get talking books for students who need them. It comes to our attention daily that there are many, many youngsters in Upstate New York s public and private schools who are eligible for TBBL s program of free library books on tape and tape player but whose teachers and parents do not know about it. To start the new millenium, TBBL School Services staff would like to help ensure that every child who is eligible and in need of our service, has access to it.
Schools can help.
It is as basic to education as information on how to get students on the school bus, arrange school lunches, and plan field trips. We are here to help. Call, write or e-mail us for information. Please post the following portion of School News or pass to school administrators, guidance staff, CSE committees, resource and special education teachers. You ll be helping kids read in the year 2000 and far beyond.
