Did you know that San Francisco Public Library has been providing specialized services for the deaf or hard of hearing since 1977?

The Deaf Services Center (DSC) is located on the 1st floor of the Main Library of San Francisco Public Library at 100 Larkin St.

It was specially designed, constructed and furnished to make it possible for individuals to communicate effectively using sign language or speech reading. Bilingual staff is available to assist those using the DSC resources and can make referrals to appropriate agencies.

There are fiction and non-fiction books, magazines, videotapes, and other materials on American Sign Language (ASL), sign language study, deafness, Deaf culture and related topics of interest to people who are deaf or hard of hearing, their families and associates.

Open Tuesday - Saturday. See DSC website for hours.
