Hi Lorry,
Seedlings is a wonderful source for children's books in Braille: http://www.seedlings.org/, in addition to referring families to the Michigan Braille and Talking Book Library (BTBL).

Subject: [Michlib-l] Youth Braille Books - How to Find
 
CAUTION: External Email
Good afternoon,

I would like to add braille books to my library's collection, but I don't know how to find them. We do our purchasing through B&T, but I am open to purchasing them from another source if needed.

Are there any grants available to purchase braille materials? 

I would need these to be for kids and teens. 

Thank you so much for your help!
