Carol,
Have you tried contacting either the Philomatheon Society or Cleveland
Public Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped? They have
wonderful resources and are very helpful in sharing information. Another
suggestion would be to contact the American Council of the Blind or your
local Lion's Club.
