“Seattle Public Library’s LEAP (Library Equal Access
Program) is now offering ASL Book Group for any proficient ASL users who are
interested in participating book discussions! When I say “ASL users”, I meant
that anyone- including hearing and deaf- who uses ASL proficiently is
encouraged to join the book group.
The next ASL Book Group is going to be in January 2013 – for
those who want to sign up, they can contact Suz Ledet at suzette.ledet@spl.org.
The book group meets every 3rd Saturday of every OTHER month
starting January 19th, and we have secured dates for the entire year of 2013!
The group meets at10:30 am on Level 4, Room 6 at Central (1000 4th Ave , Seattle
We still have
available seats for more participants! The only requirement is that you can
communicate in ASL fluently and it is does not matter if you are hearing or
deaf to participate.
The confirmed dates and book titles are as follows:
March 16 – “Flight” by ShermanAlexie
May 18 –“Little Bee” by Chris Cleave
The first book, “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand” by Helen
Simonson is now available for pick up at the World Language desk on Level 1 at
Central. Please note that the desk is straight-ahead towards the middle area of
Level 1-NOT the front desk near the front entrance. You will receive a loaner
copy of said book after you sign off the ASL Book Group name list.
To sign up, please feel free to pick up a book as instructed
above or email me atsuzette.ledet@spl.org
so I can make sure a copy is available for you.
Thank you and we hope to see you at our next book group
meeting on January 19th at 10:30 am!
Cheers,
