Review'When Most People Hear 'Largeprint Book,' They Immediately Think Senior Citizen. But Largeprint Editions Of Popular Children'S Books From The Powerhouse Harry Potter Series To Timeless Classics Like The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer Are Now Making Their Way Onto The Shelves Of The Children'S Department At The Canton Library. . . . Although Largeprint Editions Are Targeted To The Visuallyimpaired Or Dyslexic Child, They Can Also Be Used By Standardvision Readers. So Kershner [Children'S Librarian At The Canton Public Library] Has Decided Against Creating A Special Section In The Children'S Department (As Exists In The Adult Department) Opting Instead To Intersperse Largeprint Books On The Shelves With The Regular Print Versions Of The Same Titles.'
