• Books
published in Large Print are available primarily, but not exclusively,
for
print disabled readers.
• They are divided into the following sections:
| |
General
Romance
Mystery
Non - Fiction
Westerns |
• Books published in large
print tend to be by popular authors or on popular subjects. Large print
editions of latest releases are now being produced more quickly than in
past years.
• Each library has a core collection of Large Print books. The Havelock
North and Flaxmere collections are supplemented by short term exchanges
from the Hastings Central collection.
• Books from a Regional Large Print Collection are rotated around the
Hastings District, Napier, Taradale, Gisborne, Wairoa, Waipukurau and
Waipawa Libraries. This sharing of resources helps to ensure maximum variety in the Large
Print Collection.
• Regrettably, there are few New Zealand titles available in Large
Print. The fern-leaf spine label marks them clearly.
