Large Print Non-Fiction Has New Home
Recently there was a seismic shift on the 2nd floor here at the library. Did you feel the tremors? Entire shelves of books migrated, making way for the establishment of a new section of specialized books.
In the past, large print non-fiction was interfiled and shelved with
standard print non-fiction, making them difficult to discern. To assist our patrons in locating large print volumes, the decision was made in the early part of this year to gather them all together in one separately-shelved but equally-important collection. Since then, our shelving
expert Colleen has been working tirelessly to effect the transition,
completing it just in time for the summer reading season.
So, large print readers, rejoice! Your laborious days of hunting are over! Spend more time reading and less time searching! Browse, select, and borrow with ease from our new large print non-fiction section located right across from the elevator on the 2nd floor! Huzzah!
