History/Provenance: The Primer Level of the Patterns Library Series was released as a new APH product in June 1983. The Patterns Library Series was designed to supplement Patterns: The Primary Braille Reading Program, with books that corresponded in level content, color, and size to those in the reading program. This kit was transferred in 2019 to the Museum of the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) from the APH Research Department, where it had been stored with project materials of Eleanor Pester.
