A new scheme will be opening in St Albans Library to provide Rhyme and Sign sessions for deaf children and their families.
The Rhyme and Sign sessions will take place once a month at St Albans Library in the Maltings.
Lisa Toogood, the mother of a deaf child, said: “I’m so pleased to be able to come and show my daughter that it’s not just me and her dad who sign.
“Not only has Hertfordshire County Council delivered a wonderful free resource to help children in Hertfordshire develop a love of reading, but they’ve also shown my child and all those who attended that they believe inclusion matters.”
Caroline Clapper, member for education, libraries and life-long learning at Hertfordshire County Council said: “Our libraries are so much more than books and we aim for every free session or workshop we design to be as inclusive as possible for all our residents.
“Being deaf shouldn’t be a barrier to children enjoying a story or a sing song with their parents.”
