Dear colleagues,
First of all I would like to thank everyone who responded. I know it was Friday
afternoon but my question must have hit a nerve - or at least a need. Most
people offered the main suppliers:
Brinsford

9.html
New Leaf www.newleafbooks.org.uk
Evans Shades http://www.evansbooks.co.uk/index.asp
gatehouse www.gatehousebooks.com
Livewire from Hodder
I also received a tip off that Brights had considered publishing books for
people with learning disabilities and my contact at Brights gave me this one:
http://www.senpress.co.uk/
Another colleague passed this on:
http://www.picturestoshare.co.uk/ which can be used with people recovering
from a stroke - something I hadn't thought of.
I was also delighted to hear from Genevieve Clarke at the Reading Agency it
would certainly be great if Vital Link could pick up the ball and run further this
one.
My other thought on this whole subject is how best to manage stock in these
ranges. Not only do we have to stop them gravitating to the junior/teen when
no one's looking, how do we avoid sections of the library appearing 'Special'?
It would be good to have some suggestions of good practice.
