Near the end of the library's fiscal year on June 30, 2016, we were fortunate to receive additional funds for the purchase of new materials. As a result, our Large Type collection will grow substantially.
We choose several standing order plans from Thorndike Press and they offer the largest selection of Large Type bestsellers available anywhere. Many Thorndike titles are published at the same time or within three weeks of the original publisher’s release date, so patrons that prefer to read Large Type can access newly published materials more quickly.
Patrons that prefer Large Type can expect to see more:
All four branches of the Forsyth County Public Library will receive a number of fresh, new Large Type titles each month. We hope staff and patrons enjoy these new materials!
