Happy Birthday, Louis Braille!

This January, we celebrate Louis Braille’s birthday and Braille Awareness Month.

Louis Braille (1809-1852) is known for developing the six cell dot system that allows blind individuals access to a wide range of reading materials. Louis Braille changed the world of reading and writing forever when he developed the six cell dot system.

The Southwest Georgia Library for Accessible Services has the ability to translate materials into Braille for individuals who need it.

Monroe St. in Bainbridge, to learn more about Louis Braille and pick up a goodie bag filled with bookmarks, Braille information, and much more.
