Dear Michlib-L, Northville District Library recently installed Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Core Vocabulary Boards, or core boards, at all public service desks and public restrooms, with a large primary core board near our main stairwell. Please find images and our press release attached to this email. We heartily thank our Friends of the Northville District Library and Community Financial, along with Wayne RESA, Wayne County Speech and Language Association, and Susan Oleson and Lia Gargaro, two local speech pathologists who collaborated on this project with one of our Youth Services Librarians, Cathrine Trautman. For questions regarding the development of the Core Boards for NDL, Cathrine can be reached directly by email at: ctrautman@northvillelibrary.org Please excuse my cross-posting. Hope you are all having a wonderful week! Sincerely, Katie Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Public Relations Librarian Northville District Library 212 West Cady Street Northville, MI 48167 (248) 349-3020 ext. 221 [ https://northvillelibrary.org/ | https://northvillelibrary.org/ ]
