The Library has a collection of over 4,000 titles in large print. Large Print Catalogs are available which list titles in the collection. Readers may request particular titles, authors, or indicate general reading interest areas. The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped maintains a special collection of books, periodicals, and information files which is used in responding to inquiries. The Reference Section issues several publications that are free on request.
Vantage is a uniquely powerful reading tool.
It can be used for reading all kinds of documents such as books, newspapers, magazines, letters, reports, contracts, or even seeing coins, stamps and photographs. You can also use Vantage to read your own work as you are writing or typing it. In other words, you can use it to magnify just about anything that can be placed on the Vantage Reading Table. Volunteer Opportunities Opportunities for volunteers are available both locally at the Library and on a state level through the Library of Michigan Service to the Blind and Physically Handicapped in Lansing. On a state level individuals can be trained to record special request material, learn and transcribe braille and contribute in a variety of different ways.
