I have just read Elizabeth Burns’ article in my copy of Horn Book Magazine for March/April 2013.
I would like to share this article with one of my patrons who is visually impaired and interested in a career that relates to libraries, books/reading, and visually impaired children. Is your article available in electronic format? I realize that HB normally doesn’t make their articles available online, but in this case, perhaps they might consider it?
If it were online, she has software that will read it aloud to her.
If not, I will type the links to all the resources listed and send it to her myself, but I think she would find the article very useful and relevant, as well.
Thanks,
Erica Siskind
