Braille Bug Reading Club Selections for the 2005-2006 School Year


This year, in collaboration with CareerConnect®, AFB's employment web site, the Braille Bug is asking, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"


The Reading Club will feature books that highlight different professions and will also recommend books for a variety of reading levels.


Through the CareerConnect mentor database, readers will find links to people with vision loss who perform these jobs, and can send them an e-mail with questions about their work.
