Work began on these changes in the 1990’s. The goals were many and included: fixing some of the ambiguities in the braille code, making reading easier for braille readers, unifying the code for all of the English-speaking countries, and combining the literary and the computer braille codes. Thousands of hours were invested by hundreds of people. The result was the Unified English Braille Code (the UEB). On April 2, 2004, the International Council on English Braille (ICEB) gave the go-ahead on the UEB. In May of 2004, South Africa was the first country to adopt it, followed by Nigeria, Australia, and New Zealand. Canada came on board in 2010; the UK in 2011. Then in November of 2012, the UEB was adopted by the Braille Authority of North America (BANA) for use in the United States, with an implementation date of January 4, 2016. Consequently, the Seedlings staff has been busy learning the UEB and the new software that we will be using to produce our books in UEB. There are many things to consider as we tackle this new challenge and much time will be involved with this process. We have started with our books for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Other sections will follow. Some books will still be available in the old code (English Braille American Edition or EBAE). We will keep you apprised of our progress (please consult www.seedlings.org for updates), and we thank you in advance for your patience and support as we work on this project. We are motivated by all of the blind children and their families who are counting on us to continue to be the place they can go for high-quality, low-cost braille books for children.

All packages to Alaska, Hawaii, and foreign countries will be shipped “Free Matter.” In November 2012, the Braille Authority of North America (BANA) voted to adopt the Unified English Braille Code (UEB) as the official code for the United States. We will now join several other countries (Canada and Australia, for example) who adopted the new code before us. While the implementation date is scheduled for January 4, 2016, we have already begun converting some books. SHIPPING via UPS Ground: People in the Continental US may select UPS Ground for a charge of 15% ($9.50 minimum). If you require special services like UPS 3Day, 2-Day, Overnight, or Signed Proof of Delivery, we will need to add the extra charge to your invoice. Our plan is to start with our books for younger children (please see Page 3) and work our way up. However, some of the bigger books will still be available in the old code (EBAE). We will be sure to mark the books that are UEB-compliant. Please bear with us during this process! UNCONTRACTED VS. CONTRACTED BRAILLE: Uncontracted Braille is the simplest form of braille. It consists of a symbol for each letter of the alphabet and a few for punctuation. In Contracted Braille, several dozen special symbols (contractions and short forms) are added to make the books shorter and reading faster. For more information on the UEB, see: www.brailleauthority.org Just as we have in the past, the Seedlings staff will continue to work hard to give you high-quality, low-cost children’s books in braille!

To order a braille copy, simply email Seedlings: [email protected] or call toll-free: 800-777-8552. ●●● ●●● ●●● ●●● ●●● ●●● ●●● ●●● Since then, Seedlings has placed over 430,000 braille books into the hands of children across the U.S., Canada, and several other countries.
