A welcoming and accessible environment for people with disabilities is c
rucial to ensure that libraries are truly for everyone; however, the domina
nt societal narrative tells us lies about disability that can keep us from
fully embracing and prioritizing people with disabilities in our work. This
engaging pre-conference will invite participants to examine the dominant s
ocietal narrative around disability; consider how that can affect our work
both at individual and organizational levels, and become empowered to advoc
ate for the disability community in their library. Attendees will leave wit
h a plan of action to inform their work.
Content note: this pre-confer
ence may be particularly challenging to engage with for staff who are disab
led, or have a close friend or family member with a disability.
