[kids-lib] adaptive Storywalks?

[BERGQUIST Greta E * SLO]

I'm so glad you asked this, Anna! I really like the audio idea.

This doesn't help immediately, but the State Library of Michigan collaborated with their Talking Book Library and 32 public libraries to offer braille-enhanced storywalks in their state. In August, their Youth Services Consultant is giving a presentation to all the state youth consultants about that work - My colleague Jennifer Graves from the Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library and I will attend that and share any resources that may be helpful, as well as see what might work in Oregon.

There aren't many resources attached here<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/youth/braille-enhanced-storywalk>, but you can see a quick video of their process<https://youtu.be/zk60GG8gYqc> and here's an ALSC blog post<https://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/2022/03/braille-enhanced-storywalks-at-pla2022/> about their PLA presentation.

Best,
Greta

Subject: [kids-lib] adaptive Storywalks?

Hello, We've had a question about adapting our Storywalk to be accessible by the visually impaired. I saw one article online from an Iowa law center about the legalities of creating alternative formats, but I'm really interested in knowing if anyone has had any practical experience creating an adaptive version of their Storywalk.

At this point, I'm leaning towards creating audio files, but before I create something new I thought I'd ask the amazing youth library community of Oregon! Thanks in advance!
