CELA ANNOUNCES NEW DATE FOR BEGINNING OF PAUSE IN BRAILLE PRODUCTION

Dear braille readers,

Last month we sent you a notice that CELA has planned a temporary pause for braille production and delivery while our braille services are being relocated and the machines which produce our embossed braille are being moved. The pause will now begin on October 23 instead of October 19 as we had originally stated. We still anticipate this process will require approximately 2 - 3 weeks for relocation, machine reassembly, and testing.   

During this time, you will be able to put braille books on hold, and we will resume production and distribution of embossed braille, as well as mailing of printbraille books, as soon as the machines are available again.  

All other formats, including electronic braille and reloading of Envoy Connects, will be available during this period.    

If braille material is essential for your school or work, please make those requests as soon as possible so that they can be produced and mailed before October 23.  

We apologize for any confusion. Stay informed about the status of braille production by following our blog post  or watching for updates in the What’s New at CELA section of our website.  

Thank you.  

Laurie Davidson, Executive Director 

CELA Member Services
