Augmentative Communication Sign Implemented in Our Library

We are pleased to share our new communication sign in the library.

An Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is meant to facilitate communication for patrons who are non-speaking, have difficulties speaking, or speak a language other than English.

In addition to the sign, we received ten books to add to our children’s and teen collections that feature non-speaking characters and/or the use of AAC tools. This was made possible by an Accessible Small and Rural Communities grant, in partnership with the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL), and was administered locally by the OWWL Library System.
