About this New Blog

Catholic BVI Readers began as a Yahoo group a few years ago. The idea was to share Catholic books and materials in Braille, large print and audio tape. Besides sharing availability of books, I now plan to include links to online resources that we discover; for example, sites that have material in recorded human voice. I have also decided to take this service to a blog mode, here at http://cathbvireaders.blogspot.com.

When I find new materials, I will share them here for you. The Yahoo group, CatholicBVIReaders, continues. It's principle purpose now will be to get this blog delivered into your email inbox as a newsletter. Since I won't be posting here on a planned periodic basis, but rather on an occasional basis, signing up for the group is one way to be sure you don't miss a post. (If you are in the Yahoo group, and you do not wish to receive these newsletters, you may go to the Yahoo groups webpage and configure your account for visiting only at the web, or you may unsubscribe by following the instructions at the bottom of the email.)

If you do want to see the entries as they are posted, but without joining a Yahoo group, you might like to subscribe through Bloglines.

Either way, I welcome your input! You can post in the comments section of this blog or to the CatholicBVIReaders Yahoo group. Or you can email me personally at margmary53@yahoo.com

You do not have to be Catholic to visit or join. I only want you to know that the materials discussed will be Catholic materials.

I look forward to us sharing together!

I've just been reading about what you are doing here on your blog, it seems to me to be an excellent resource for others who are experiencing the same thing or have family members who do.
