"Over the years, by providing blind-people-oriented, need-based and customized services, braille publication organizations in China and the US have made a great contribution to the growth and success of numerous blind people, and each developed its own unique advantages and service features," China Braille President Zhang Wei said.

"We will conduct exchanges with peers in the US on topics such as braille publication, audio books and service of braille libraries, and discuss digitalized services for the blind, promotion of reading, volunteer services as well as other relevant subjects with the blind communities and organizations of the blind," Zhang added.

WTBBL has been recognized nationally as a leader for library services for the blind, said Wyman. "It’s equally clear that from this amazing exhibit and the braille you have donated to the library, that China Braille Press and the Braille Library of China are also great leaders and innovators. What a wonderful partnership," he added. "Organizations are able to build relationships around shared interests that have nothing to do with geopolitics."

The exhibit is open from 8:30 am to 5 pm Tuesday through Friday, with hours extended until 9 pm on Wednesday. Saturday’s exhibit hours are 10 am to 3 pm.
