Thorndike is printing young adult books in large print. I have been in conversations with them since March about promoting their collection.

In the juvenile collection there are green folders with all of Thorndike’s information. They are there for you to take. Also, there are copies of Holes by Louis Sachar in large print. Please take only what you need so that others may have a chance. Finally, the collection has large print copies of Harry Potter books, a Spiderwick book and other titles. Take a moment to browse through.

The article in School Library Journal (pdf version) is Big is Beautiful by Wesley Yandall.
