Giant Print Library

For young, partially sighted people, it can be extremely difficult to get hold of giant print books. The National Library for the Blind's Giant Print Library is the only lending service in the UK of books in 24-point type.

It includes a range of books for children aged around 8 upwards, from classics like 'The Hobbit' by JRR Tolkien, to contemporary authors such as Jacqueline Wilson and J K Rowling.
