About Library

VDDHH has a lending library of resource and other materials relating to deafness, hearing loss, sign language, interpreter training, technology, education, and many more topics. There are books, workbooks, videotapes and DVD’s, journals and periodicals, and games. The Children’s Collection has books, games, videotapes, and DVDs for hours of entertainment.  The library is available to anyone who is a resident of Virginia. It is a great resource for consumers, parents, other family members, students in interpreter training programs and others interested in a broad range of information. There is no cost to borrow materials, although the borrower is responsible for return postage. Books may be checked out for up to four weeks.  Most videotapes and DVD’s may be checked out for two weeks.
