Since the latter part of 2015, Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) has hosted, developed and managed Maryland DCDL on behalf of the Maryland State Library. MCPL has managed DCDL due to MCPL’s long history of providing library services to people who are deaf and hard of hearing. These services include communication access, deaf resources, collections of materials for, by and about people who are deaf and hard of hearing and programs featuring deaf authors and speakers on topics related to deaf culture and coping with hearing level changes due to aging. These services are nationally and State renowned.
