The Library shares with the founders and administrators of
the Paul and Johanna Laszig Fund for the Elderly a commitment to supporting
Ridgefield residents aged 62+ in the many needs they experience as they become
older. For many, one of the first and
often most troublesome is the development of difficulty with their vision. For the avid book lover, diminishment of the
ability to read traditional books can be devastating. Large print books and audiobooks can help
extend a lifelong love of reading. With the support of a recent grant from the
Laszig Fund, the Library is pleased to announce the addition of several dozen
new titles for its large print collection.
It has also purchased a number of Playaways, which are an innovative
format that combines a player and an audiobook in one small, easy-to-use
device.
Playaways purchased include hot new titles such as John
Grisham’s latest, “The Whistler,” and the award-winning “The Underground
Railroad” by Colson Whitehead. New large print acquisitions include the runaway
hit “My Brilliant Friend” by Elena Ferrante, Martin Walker’s latest Bruno,
Chief of Police mystery and Liane Moriarty’s bestseller “Truly Madly Guilty.”
Ask at the Circulation or Adult Services Desk for help finding these and many
more large print books and Playaways.
