It was my honor today at the State House to present the Anna Elliot Tichnor award on behalf of the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners to Kim Charleson, Executive Director of the Perkins Braille and Talking Book Library. Kim has spent her career making library materials accessible to all.

The advance reservations got snapped up for this project of ours within hours, but there WILL be some tickets available at the door at the Lizard Lounge. Doors open at 7, and I suggest getting there around then if you want to extinguish the FOMO.
