<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We are thrilled to let the MI public library community know that the Braille Enhanced StoryWalk® program will be returning in 2022! However, after some time for reflection, the Library of Michigan and the
Michigan Braille and Talking Book Library have decided the brailled storywalks® will be circulated (much like the NASA @ My Library kits) out to libraries for return after use, helping us to better serve a larger range of libraries across Michigan. Due to
this change, we will not have the kits ready for circulation until late Summer/early Fall. Once they are completed and ready for reservations, we will announce it across the listservs and libraries will then be able to book their story choice/dates for use
on KitKeeper. Each year we will be adding a new story to the list of options and are looking forward to growing this collection!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
