A Toy Lending Library


RCC Specialized Communication Resources for Children (SCRC) Library
The SCRC Library has over 700 children’s picture books available for anyone to borrow. Picture communication symbols have been added to the text to help with learning and comprehension. For children and youth who use iPads with picture-to-speech communication apps to “talk” (AAC), these adapted story books are now written in their language!
We also have picture-based language learning activities that go with some of our books. These activities help improve language comprehension. They are also a fun way to practice using pictures to communicate.
The SCRC Library is in the Speech and Hearing Junction at SSCY Centre. Books and materials can be borrowed from one to six months. Contact Marjorie at aac@rccinc.ca or Stephannie at stephanniem@rccinc.ca to book a library orientation appointment and become a borrower. View our Borrower Information Sheet to learn more. Please note the Library is currently closed until January 2018.
