Hi Pauline,\ You may be right about places feeling uncomfortable about sending braille books out. I’ve gotten a couple of them from Dr. McGee’s Bible bus place in California over the summer. But they are for you to just keep, not something coming back to them if you are borrowing books as you would at the Library. They do sell copies of some of the stuff but cannot sell it if it was donated to them from someone. I like the cookbooks that they have from churches, those recipes are so good.
They give you a month but you can ask for one more month if you can’t finish with it right away. I record them on my Victor Stream. That way I am not frazzled about getting them back to them on time. I did get your message in the other place and will get back to you very soon.

Could you post contact information for them, please? You may not be getting materials from them due to what's going on right now. I have heard from several correspondents that their libraries have temporarily stopped sending out braille materials due to the pandemic. One of the places that sends out monthly devotionals has done this. On another subject, I am with Lora as far as UEB. I can read it but don't like it. I wouldn't have taken courses to learn it if I hadn't had the possibility of needing to teach it. Of course, I don't have to worry about that right now.
