Located on the west side of the first floor near the fiction collection, is the popular large type collection. Large type books are popular with older adults and patrons with vision loss. The collection contains approximately 6,000 fiction and non fiction titles and is growing by leaps and bounds, with the addition of over 400 new titles per year. Check out the “Just Arrived” book display featuring our newest titles, just opposite this display is a rotating display highlighting a specific genre or special collection within the large type collection. A common misconception about large type books is that they are heavier than the regular print edition. Actually most large type books weigh less then the regular print edition! Publishers use lighter weight paper and most books have narrower margins. Some of our newest titles include; Nevada Barr’s 13 1/2, Last Night in Twisted River by John Irving, Debbie Macomber’s Bride on the Loose and Cheating Death by Sanjay Gupta. Give weary eyes a rest and try a large type book.

We love the Large Type selection at the Glenveiw library. (My partner's mom moved in with us, coming from Denver, last Christmas and she's always so pleasantly surprised by the fabulous selection available for her.)
