We have received money to purchase subscriptions to large print magazines and was hoping to receive some advice as to how well they might be used. Of course, we will be ordering Time and Reader's Digest, but was wondering about Large Print Literary Reader and NYT Large Print Weekly newspaper.

If anyone has this magazine and newspaper for their patrons, could you please let me know how well they are used? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Please feel free to reply to me off-list.

Don't forget the large print edition of Guideposts. Very popular in our
library.

Of course, we will be ordering Time and Reader's Digest, but was wondering
about Large Print Literary Reader and NYT Large Print Weekly newspaper.

We've had NYT Weekly for a long time and it's not heavily used, but
definitely appreciated by its loyal following. Didn't Large Print Time go
under? We had that and patrons really liked it, but it ceased publication
about a year ago. Has it picked up again does anyone know?

Our periodicals person just checked on this and indeed, it is no longer in publication. Thanks for the heads up.
