LBH August 2007
• At the end of July, LBH hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to open the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired Regional Technical Assistance Center located at the Library for the Blind and Handicapped. This state-of-the-art technical center is equipped with the latest in assistive technologies. This joint project of NJLBH and CBVI received additional funding in a technology grant from Comcast Foundation. As a result of the Comcast grant for $20,000, the lab is equipped with an interactive smart board, a handheld CCTV and a new generation Brailler.
• LBH completed a second year in its partnership with the TCNJ Workskills Program. We offered a variety of work opportunities to teens with multiple disabilities. Students reported to work at LBH and under the guidance of job coaches, rewound tapes, checked in books, opened boxes of Braille books and sorted returned books into bins for re-shelving.
