[CASL-L] Fwd: Transform Your Library with Large Print Books – Exclusive Offer Inside! - AASL Poster Session

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Hello CT Librarian Colleagues/Friends,

At this poster session, I discovered my first "gem" of the AASL Tampa
Conference! I have a Kwame Alexander large print book coming soon to my
library. I can't wait to share it with students. I see so many positive
possibilities with large print books in my library.  To see the data from
the poster session and view Thorndike Press' catalog, click   Explore Youth
Large Print 2023 - 2024

you didn't attend AASL Tampa, I'm not sure if you'll get the 30% discount
on select titles if you order by 1/31, but you can try. See forwarded email
for more details from Thorndike Press.)

Happy reading,
~Val

Good Morning,



We had the pleasure of meeting you at the *AASL poster session* on youth
large print, where *Tasha Squire from O'Neill Middle School* in IL shared
her inspiring success story of how *large print books* have played a
pivotal role in creating a culture of reading at her middle school. We were
truly inspired by her journey and the positive impact that large print
books have had on her students.



*It was impressive to hear her share that large print circulated better
than graphic novels!!!*



(below is Tasha’s poster from the session)
