The SJSU ALASC would like to take this opportunity to commemorate our Deaf and Hearing Impaired friends this week for International Day of the Deaf. From September 24th to September 30th, and on-going, we recognize the inspirational people in our community who show us what resilience looks like. In honor of this celebration, we share with you a collection of books that feature characters with hearing disabilities.

Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick

A Loss for Words by Lou Ann Walker

Silent Superpower by Rebecca Vincent

Happy Library Card Sign-Up Month!

"With a library card, you can do more than check out books. From free classes and job resources to homework help, streaming media, and cultural events, today’s libraries connect communities to information, inspiration, and each other." (American Library Association, 2026).

What is your favorite resource that your library offers?
