The Prince George Public Library (PGPL) will be hosting “The Way We Hear It” exhibit on May 1st.
This is from the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association – BC Chapter, with the month being recognized in Canada as Speech and Hearing Month.
Library Director Paul Burry said “We’re always looking for ways to ensure that all members of our community are represented in our spaces, collections, and events.”
“The Way We Hear It is a great way to amplify the voices and highlight the experiences of the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community, and we’re grateful for all the individuals and organizations who came together to bring this display to PGPL.”
Those visiting the library will notice changes to some shelving and seating areas to accommodate the exhibit.
In addition to the exhibit, visitors can also take part in completing the Sign Language Scavenger Hunt, or by attending the monthly “Lets Get Talking” program with Speech-Language Pathologists from Northern Health on May 7th.
The exhibit will also feature books by and about Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing individuals, as well as information on Mental Health.
The exhibit will launch with an opening reception from 6:00 until 7:30pm, and will be open for viewing on the second floor of the library until May 31st.
