Rotating Collections

 

Rotating Collections of large print books, audio books, videos, adult popular reading books, and youth books are available for loan to libraries and residential facilities.  These collections are intended to supplement libraries' own collections of materials.  To sign your library or facility up to receive rotating collections, or for more information, contact Roseanna Harris.  Please note that due to the popularity of the collections, it may take a few months to work you into the rotation schedule.
