My Mum lives in a retirement village and helps running the library there. As the residents get older, they appreciate books with large print. I helped my Mum find websites that sell books with large print, and with my Mum's input I applied for two charity grants for the village to get funding to buy more. Applying for the grants took a little longer than I expected, but its done, and I hope that the funding comes through so that everyone can enjoy reading and the pleasure of books. .jpg)
