Registration is open for the two-part ALA eLearning webinar series “Serving Deaf Patrons in the Library”. It will take place on Wednesday, April 10, and Thursday, April 11, from 1:30 to 3:00 PM CDT both days.
Library services are for everyone, and that includes the deaf community. In this workshop, Kathy MacMillan, librarian and certified American Sign Language interpreter, guides you in making your library a more welcoming place for patrons who are deaf or hard of hearing. You will gain an understanding of Deaf culture, learn library-related signs, and become prepared to confidently work with interpreters for your programs.
This event will be hosted in Zoom. Automatic captions will be enabled for this event. This event will be recorded, and registrants will receive access to the recording within a day after the event ends. If you have questions or requests regarding accessibility, contact us at ce@ala.org or at (312) 280-5100.
