Large Print Materials & Magnification Tools

Large Print Books:

There are approximately 6,000 volumes in our adult large print collection. There also are large print books for youth available in Youth Services.

Large print books are well used by our patrons and also by patrons of other Illinois libraries through interlibrary loan. We also request large print materials from other Illinois libraries. The Large Print Area is located near the Library’s main entrance and Circulation Desk for patron ease.

Large Print Periodicals:

• Dialogue
• Guideposts
• Mature Years
• New York Times Large Print Weekly
• Readers Digest
• Seeing It Our Way: A Magazine of Recipes, Crafts, and Much More

Several magnifiers and magnifying tools are available for use in the Library.

Luxo Wave Plus lighted magnifiers (2) are available for use in the Library through the generosity of the Geneva Lions Club. One of the Luxo lighted magnifiers is located on a table in the Carnegie Business Room. The other is in a reading carrel in the Reference Area.

Ask Outreach Services for a demonstration of the Luxo magnifiers. If you are in the Library, ask for Outreach staff at any public service desk or call us at 630-584-0076, ext. 219 or ext. 269.

Ask Outreach Services for more information about these services.
