Just Sign It, Already!

Someday in the future, when you are one of Santa’s helper Elves in a mall somewhere, you will be sad if you don’t know American Sign Language. There are always several days when the Deaf and Mute community is invited to bring their kids down to see the Signing Santa. You don’t want to be the only Elf who can’t ‘talk’ to adorable children, do you?

Thankfully, we have a link for that! Visit our American Sign Language Browser. You can find it in our Language/Literacy/ESL database, where you can also learn to speak other languages, improve your literacy skills or learn how to pronounce foreign words like a native speaker!*

*Library card number is required for some of the sites.

This is great. There are so many deaf families that it would be sad to not be able to talk to them. They are everywhere and its good to know for a job, it is almost as important as learning Spanish if not more important.
