This is the place where Sign Language interpreters and consumers will find a good book about interpreting, Deaf Culture, and ASL. Take a visit to SLR's Library. And, just in case that's not enough, spend some time in The Cafe to read a review about a book, or take the time to write one, and help other interpreters and consumers. Sorry, the coffee and homemade brownie will have to be supplied by you, but when you're in town the next time, let us know and we'll meet you for a cappuccino.
