Services for people with hearing impairments

Hertfordshire libraries offer a range of services for people with hearing impairments:

• All libraries can be contacted via the Customer Service Centre using Typetalk. Staff will gladly return calls using Typetalk
• All libraries have a hearing induction loop at the enquiry desk
• Most libraries lend DVDs, which have subtitles for people with a hearing impairment
• Libraries can provide helpful information, such as contact details of relevant organisations and support groups, and books and other materials about sign language and lip-reading

People with disabilities are entitled to a range of exemptions from library charges. Click on the library concessions link to the right for more information.

If you can't get to a library because of your disability, we can bring the service to you at home, for more information click on the Home Library Service link.
