Large print makes better reading for everyone

Large print is not just a bigger font size that makes reading accessible for the visually impaired. It’s also proven to improve letter and word recognition, aid reading comprehension, and increase feelings of confidence and satisfaction when reading. That makes it perfect for beginning or reluctant readers and ESL/ELL students. Large print books are an essential resource for any literacy program.

Just an Ordinary Family
by Fiona Lowe

Every family has its secrets. Alice Hunter is smarting from the raw deal life has thrown her way: suddenly single, jobless and forced to move home to her parents’ tiny seaside town. And now she faces an uncomfortable truth. She wants her twin sister Libby’s enviable life.

As the family implodes, the fallout for these women will be inescapable. Bestselling Australian author Fiona Lowe wields a deft hand, creating utterly addictive storytelling that will have you questioning your own perceptions of what family is.

Baron Wenckheim’s Homecoming
by Laszlo Krasznahorkai

Winner of the 2019 National Book Award for Translated Literature.

Set in contemporary times, Krasznahorkai’s masterpeice tells the story of a Prince Myshkin–like figure, who returns at the end of his life to his provincial Hungarian hometown. Having escaped exile, he longs to be reunited with his sweetheart Marika. Hailed internationally as perhaps the most important novel this century, Baron Wenckheim’s Homecoming is the culmination of Krasznahorkai’s remarkable career.
