Every one of us will experience disability at some point in our lives, whether it is permanent or temporary, the result of genetics, aging, injury, or disease. Disability Pride Month commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990. It's also an opportunity to celebrate the many achievements and contributions of people living with disabilities, raise awareness, promote inclusion and honor the history and challenges they have faced.
We're celebrating Disability Pride Month in July with physical displays of books and materials at all of our locations, as well as book lists and recommendations from library staff. Visit us in person or online at our website to check it out!
