The Jack Brockhoff Library

The library is open 5 days a week with the librarian in attendance on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

To arrange a visit to the library, please contact Taralye on (03) 9877 1300 or email on: information@taralye.vic.edu.au

The library has been a priority for Taralye from the days when information about teaching deaf children was scarce in Australia. From a busy postal service, the library has grown to a modern facility with an extensive journal collection, books, videos and an internet connection.

The library's collection consists of books, journals, videotapes, DVDs and CD-Roms on the subject of deafness and the education of the hearing impaired child, in particular by the oral method. Membership to the library is available to all staff, teachers, researchers, students and families associated with Taralye.

Other interested people are welcome to come and use items within the library.
