Sign Language
A valuable service offered by the Toronto Public Library that often goes unnoticed is Sign Language Interpretation for library programs.  This service is available for adult, children, and teen programs offered at any Toronto Public Library branch.  If you require, or would prefer sign language interpretation to participate in a library program, all you need to do is book the service at least two weeks prior to the program you want to attend.  Booking the service can be done through your local branch, or by calling 416-393-7100 (teletypewriter only). 

The Accessibility Services Blog provides information and updates on current and upcoming library trends, programs, collections, and services to existing and potential TPL customers with disabilities, along with their friends and family. The blog offers a forum through which library customers can interact with TPL and share feedback and ideas, and communicate with staff. Features of the blog include highlights on special collections and assistive technologies available through the library, opportunities to get involved, and staff recommendations for programs, books and other materials.
