What are Large Print books?
Most Large Print books are printed in this size type (16 point) orlarger, on vision-friendly non-glare paper. Today’s Large Printtitles have the same bright cover illustrations as regular printeditions.
Large Print books are unabridged - you get every word of theoriginal edition. Titles include popular bestsellers, mystery,romance, biography, travel, Canadian fiction, and more.
Is borrowing Large Print restricted to certain people?
No, anyone may borrow Large Print. No special registration isrequired, but Large Print is especially popular with people withpermanent or temporary visual impairment.
Halifax Public Libraries have an extensive collection of LargePrint books. These are rotated among the branches regularly,to refresh collections. If a title you want is not in your localoutlet, you may place a request and it will be sent to yourbranch. If you need help placing a request, please ask staff toassist you.
