Northland LBPH maintains a listing of resources directing people to other organizations, services, materials and information about disabilities that may be of interest to patrons. Northland LBPH loans aides and appliance catalogs for patron use. Large print books, tapes and equipment are sent to the patron's home using free mail privileges of the U.S. Postal Service. Bimonthly catalogs of upcoming fiction and nonfiction books are available in large print or cassette formats or on computer diskette. Patrons can select materials by title, author, and interest area.
Patrons select how many books and how frequently they want materials.
Books are loaned up to eight weeks and equipment is loaned as needed for our patron's convenience when using tapes. When books are returned to the library more library materials are sent. Patrons can also select talking book materials when they visit Talking Book Centers located in the Atlanta , Gaylord , Harrisville or Mio public libraries. Large print books are also available at public libraries in Alpena, Alcona, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Crawford, Emmet, Montmorency, Oscoda, Otsego or Presque Isle counties. Northland is happy to direct applications from residents of other counties or other states to their proper service library.
