It was three decades ago that the first ASL class took place in the Newark Public Library’s special services room. Since then, the program has blossomed into a community of its own.
The free, public classes teach crucial basic skills to parents, families and friends of people with hearing loss who want to learn ASL. And even now – decades after their inception – they remain a hugely popular program at the Newark Library.
