Service to the community/world through Printing for the Blind
The Louisville Area Lutheran Braille Work Center is at Concordia Church. The Lutheran Braille Workers gather at Concordia on Tuesday mornings and print a "Lutheran Hour" sermon in Braille for shipment to interested persons throughout the world. It is quite an interesting process from blank sheets to bound books packaged for shipment all over the world. A paper sheet has printing of different pages on both front and back sides of a sheet. A sheet of paper is placed between a set of plates for the stamping/printing for two separate pages. This is then run through a press. After the papers are removed from between the plates, the many pages are sorted and stacked in order. They are placed on a binding ring and when the entire book has been pressed, the pages are placed into the binder, and then the binder is closed. A checker makes sure all is well and the book is then double checked and initialed. Then the books are collected, wrapped in plastic for shipment, boxed, sealed and addressed per all countries regulations (which can be quite different). Finally they are shipped, delivered, and enjoyed by sight-challenged people across this vast world.
