In its strive to be inclusive, Beloit Public Library will offer American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation at its upcoming Zoozort Exotic Animal Experience.
The library has contracted with the nationally acclaimed Purple Communications to provide an onsite, deaf-approved ASL interpreter to sign for individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. Not only does this addition provide a needed service for those with hearing loss, it also exposes Beloit youth who are able to hear to the diverse needs of others. This is the second
event for which the library has provided ASL interpretation this summer.
Zoozort Exotic Animal Experience will be held from 2:00-3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 20 at Beloit Public Library, located at 605 Eclipse Boulevard in Beloit. Licensed animal educator Noelle Bezio of will present a hands-on interactive program featuring live exotic animals from around the world. This event is free and open to all ages. No library card is required to attend events at the library.
