Changes to Come for Large Print Editions
By popular request, the large print editions of new, bestselling fiction titles will now check out for 7 days, just as their regular edition counterparts do. The change is prompted by the interest of customers for equal access to the large print editions, which previously checked out for a longer time period than the same book in a regular edition. We're excited that this procedural change should allow the many customers waiting in line for a large print edition to get their copy more quickly. This will also allow us to more accurately evaluate the need for more copies of one or the edition. As always, please talk to a library staff member if you have questions about your book's due date.
