Books to Celebrate Disability Pride Month

July is Disability Pride Month

Disability Pride Month is celebrated every year in July, in part, to celebrate the passage of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law on July 26, 1990. It's a time to embrace and honor the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles of the disability community. In Jacksonville, we commemorate the day with an annual Disability and Adaptive Recreation Expo at the Prime F. Osborn Convention Center.  This year, Jacksonville Public Library is proud to launch our new and completely FREE Books by Mail service for Duval County residents who are unable to visit the Library due to a temporary or permanent disability or illness.
