Talking Books has revamped its service model!
We recently learned that the Division of Blind Services was updating its service model and that Talking Books and players and tapes will no longer be distributed through public libraries.
They have generously provided a thorough fact sheet, which will easily answer most patron questions about the modifications to the service.
Learn American Sign Language Basics
Library staff and native signer Ann LeZotte is bringing her ASL expertise to the Tower Road Branch Library! Beginning September 16, Miss Ann will teach a five-week ASL Basics course every Friday, 4-5 pm, in the Tower Road Meeting Room. Participants will learn the manual alphabet, numbers, basic word signs and ASL grammar. All ages and abilities are welcome. The instructor will provide all materials.
Enjoy photos of Miss Ann's previous classes at other Alachua County Library branches. Come and join the fun!
