🇺🇸❤️ A Celebration of History, Service & Accessibility ❤️🇺🇸
This July, join Rapides Parish Library as we celebrate the installation of Bronze Braille American Flag plaques at three library locations across the parish.
Created in honor of blind and visually ...impaired veterans, these unique plaques feature raised stars and stripes and the Pledge of Allegiance in Braille, making this iconic symbol of freedom accessible in a meaningful way.
As part of America 250, we're proud to help commemorate our nation's history while honoring the veterans whose service, sacrifice, and advocacy continue to inspire us today. ⭐
