Online workshop: Serving Deaf Patrons in the Library
Make your library a welcoming place for deaf people. In an upcoming workshop hosted by the Auraria Library, participants will gain an understanding of deaf culture, learn several useful library-related signs, and be ready to work confidently with interpreters for programs. Links to video demonstrations and handouts for library-related signs will be made accessible to participants to encourage practice and implementation after the workshop.
