In response to a request for a sign language interpreter, the Library will try to engage an interpreter through the Ontario Interpreting Services (OIS) at The Canadian Hearing Society (CHS).
Requirements for engaging an interpreter:
- Submit a request for an interpreter. Such a request will be considered consent by the patron to provide information to the Hearing Society to fulfill the request (e.g. patron contact information).
- Two weeks’ notice is required to engage the services of an interpreter through CHS.
- Indicate if you have a preferred sign language interpreter in your request.
- Requests for an interpreter must be made in writing. Requests may be sent by filling out the form below, by email to accessibility@kfpl.ca or by mail to 130 Johnson Street, Kingston, Ontario K7L 1X8.
- Due to the demand for interpreter services, the Library will update the patron should the request for service be denied. Where the request is denied, the Library will explore reasonable alternative measures of accommodation.
