The Chippewa Falls Public Library: Deaf Accessible

The Chippewa Falls Public Library has filled the circulation clerk position that closed on May 7th. I'm very excited to say that Ms. Diane Bergeron, pictured above in action, is our new full-time circulation clerk. But I don't post this because I'm playing favorites. I want everyone to know because Ms. Bergeron is a fully-trained American sign language interpreter with years of experience communicating with the hearing-impaired. Above, she translates the first lines of Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" to Ms. Sue Rada.

Aside from all that, she has worked with us for quite some time in our circulation department as an adult page and knows the job thoroughly.

So, if you know someone who is deaf or hearing impaired and looking to use the library, let them know.
