Exploring Adult Large Print User Preferences at a Suburban Public Library.

How do today's users utilize large print collections and why? A survey of adult large print users at one mid-size public library explored their preferences and reading habits. Respondents fell into two user groups, those who need to read in large print because of sight issues, and those who utilize large print for other reasons, such as copy availability and ease of reading. Overall, adult large print users were more likely to be female, between the ages of 40–90, heavy readers, frequent visitors to the library, and to prefer print format over eBooks or audio.
