[lstac] Talking Book and Braille - ¿Alguien lo tiene en español?

[Mary Rayme -MSL-]

Hi Maura--

Maryland's Library for the Blind and Print Disabled has an application in
Spanish, I have attached it here.

And my Midwest vote would be Chicago but since ALA was just there I'm going
to vote for Ohio, preferably Cleveland but I would accept Cincinnati!

Best,

Mary
