We are taking The Magic of Braille to the Des Moines Book Festival today!
The Magic of Braille T-shirts will be available to purchase starting today through April 4th in our online store.
All shirts are crew neck and short sleeved. Shirts are heather black with gold lettering. The front of the t-shirt says in print: The Magic of Braille, with a graphic of a cauldron with books piled on top surrounded by stars. The back of the t-shirt says, The Magic of Braille, in Braille. All sizing is unisex and all shirts are $20.00. The t-shirts will be mailed directly to you. We are pleased to work with local, small business The Side Garage.
All proceeds from the t-shirt sales will benefit the Friends of the Iowa Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped who help fund library programs.
And join the Library and the Iowa Department for the Blind at the Des Moines Book Festival today at Capital Square in Downtown Des Moines from 9:00am – 7:00pm. For more information about the DSM Book Festival: https://www.dsmpartnership.com/dsmbookfestival/
