Program
Did you ever wish you had a chunk of time to really focus on learning about disabilities, disability cultures, and the library experiences and needs of these community members? To talk honestly with peers and get real practical tips and answers? Join us at this discussion for concrete, useful information, service tips, own-voices pieces (written and video) for small group discussion, and open Q&A with self-advocates. Learn about patrons who are Deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, low-vision, physically disabled,living with chronic illness, other other disabilities.
