Nestled just North of Atlanta, the Gwinnett County Public Library has always been dedicated to enriching the lives of those in their community from children to adults and beyond. For reluctant or struggling readers, GCPL is a strong advocate of large print books, stating “the larger font and increased white space can help to improve word recognition, comprehension, and fluency.” Recently, their work with using large print to positively influence young readers won them $10K! Congratulations to Gwinnett County Public Library for landing a finalist spot in the Spark Prize!
