Last week, our Children’s Library partnered with the Communication Sciences & Disorders at the University of Iowa, and their UI Shine program — a camp for kids who stutter or are deaf/hard of hearing.

As part of the camp, several kids visited the library to read during story time. They shared that they stutter or use hearing aids or cochlear implants — and proudly read aloud to patients and families. 💛
