This is your reminder to go email your local library head/director to give them a list of Solarpunk books, and ask to see if they’re able to get them in large print and Braille. And! If you have an absolutely favorite book and your library doesn’t have it, either in the mass produced print, large print, or in Braille, you should email the library head/director to see if they will be able to get it in! Accessibility is important, and reading is fun! Share the joy!

Large Print Surprise

I did something for purely mercinary reasons, and it gave me a warm glow....

So I have several books on various retailers, you know what they are if you've been around for more than 24 hrs. When I first uploaded them I only used the basic 6"x9" paperback format as that was the standard. Even learning how to format that was a bear of a job, and spatial reasoning *hurts* so I was pretty proud of myself.

While doing that I saw that hardcovers were a preset option so I formatted a hardcover too. It was also 6"x9" so the difference in formatting wasn't great, but the process was still painful for me. I was plesantly surprised that the hardcovers sold so well, not often, but consistantly and I was happy for the money from the sales.

Large print was also an option and is defined as a book with font from 16 to 20. Now my Grandma needs large print now so I understand the need, but to be frank I only decided to put myself through the mentle stress of making a large print format of my books for the prospect of more money.

However then I noticed my first large print sale, and when I thought about it, it felt good. Someone spent the extra six bucks to purchase the large print version over the regualr version. They probably needed it. So someone was made more comfortable, someone's enjoyment of life was enhanced the smallest bit, because I sat down and formatted a print version of a large font book.

It felt good.

That is all.

After Tova Sullivan's husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she's been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago.

Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn't dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors--until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova's son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it's too late.

The large print giveth and the small print taketh away.

—Tom Waits, The Early Years: The Lyrics, 1971-1983

Though large print is a helpful resource in supporting striving readers, Project Tomorrow’s study also found a positive effect on students reading at grade level. Seventy-three percent of teachers recognized that large print text enhanced the overall reading fluency of students at grade level. Similarly, 67 percent of the teachers noted that the large print text reduced stress and anxiety in reading with their students below grade level as well as at grade level. (Jennifer Shafer)
