Braille Circulating Library Has Large Print Books
The Large Print section of the Braille Circulating Library has recently added two complete fictional series and a new standalone fictional book!
Enjoy the Song of Acadia series by popular Christian authors Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn. From the first meeting of two young women who live in French and British settlements in mid-18th century Canada, you’re sure to be caught up in their lives as they navigate that unsettled period in North American history.
Read about the aspirations of American-born children of Norwegian immigrants and how they chafe against both the dreams of parents and the norms of society in the late 1890s. In this three-book series, Return to Red River, Lauraine Snelling draws readers into the lives of her engaging characters as they struggle through historical realities that faced many immigrant families of that time.
“The Orchard,” by popular writer of Amish fiction, Beverly Lewis, has also been added to the large print shelves. In this story, Lewis weaves the backdrop of the 1970s war years into her fictional Amish community. Find out what effect the social tensions of that era had on the lives of its people.
