Patty Duke and Erik Weihenmayer are the latest celebrities to get caught reading—this time in Braille.

Duke, who played Helen Keller in the film The Miracle Worker, and Weihenmayer, the blind teacher and author who climbed to the top of Mt. Everest last year, are featured in new installments of the 4-year-old “Get caught reading” campaign from the Asso ciation of American Publishers.

The AAP partnered with the American Foundation for the Blind to create the two Braille-focused ads.

In the Duke ad, the actress sits at a table in a library with Amanda Hughes, a blind sixth-grader.
