Join Us in Celebrating World Braille Day

By Joel Henderson, Admin Specialist, Talking Book and Braille Library

January marks Braille Literacy Month, and what better way to start the month than by celebrating World Braille Day on January 4, the birthday of Louis Braille. Born in 1809, Louis lost his vision at the age of three, and as a teenager he started developing a system of embossed raised dots to empower people who are blind with the tools to be independently literate.

[https://mcusercontent.com/91dd1172fce9a235a5e993c03/images/e82f0875-e1d2-1a68-911c-5f9f6f6fb6f5.jpg]Louis’s system is comprised of a series of cells with six locations for raised dots (two columns and three rows). Letters, numbers, and punctuation marks all correspond to a specific combination of raised dots within each cell. This system means the Braille typewriter is different from a typical keyboard. Braillers have six keys corresponding to each of the six dots in the Braille cell, as well as a space key, enter button, and backspace.

Braille is the only path to literacy for many people who are blind, which makes modern Braille resources all the more important. Initiatives like their Braille e-reader pilot and Braille-on-Demand program show how the National Library Service (NLS) and the Talking Book and Braille Library are making their support of Braille literacy a top priority.

Fun facts about Braille:

  *   Braille is not a language; it is an alphabet that can be used to write almost any language.
  *   There are two versions of Braille: uncontracted Braille spells out every word, whereas contracted Braille is a shorthand form with abbreviations for familiar words.
  *   Braille can be written several ways: embossed with a slate and stylus (also known as Braille handwriting) or printed using a Braille typewriter.
  *   Braille readers usually pass their fingers along the raised dots to read, but some people have used their toes or even their lips.
  *   Castel Sant’Elmo, a popular tourist attraction in Italy, is home to an art installation by Paolo Puddu titled Follow the Shape, a handrail embossed in Braille with a poetic description of the surrounding view of Naples.
  *   In the Talking Book and Braille Library’s lobby, there are two Braille items of interest: a percent-for-art plaque with a poem by Kim Stafford embossed in Braille and an official Tactile Braille American flag bronze plaque (one of only a handful in the state)!
  *   In recent years, more toys have become available in Braille, including the Rubik’s Cube, Uno, Monopoly, and LEGOs.

This regular annual session may not exceed 160 calendar days without a vote to extend. This means the constitutional “sine die” or adjournment date for the 2023 session is on Sunday, June 25, although the “targeted” conclusion is scheduled for Thursday, June 15.

It conjured up a romanticized image of stagecoaches pulled by spirited horses, traveling through the dusty roads of early 20th-century Oregon.

Alas, it appears from my research that horse-drawn stagecoaches were mostly replaced in the late 19th century by the railroad, and the stage lines in this list were probably automobiles. Still, the roads in Oregon in the 1920s were challenging, and the roads these stage lines travelled were undoubtedly difficult.
