Disability Pride Month Reading List

Several colorful books are laid out across a small wooden table, some lying flat and others propped up. A vase of orange and pink flowers sits on the right side of the table. Above the desk is a sign that says “Disability Pride Month.”

 

Celebrate Disability Pride Month this July by reading books by disabled authors and books showcasing a variety of disabled experiences across genres! Know that you can always request to order a large-print copy of a title from the store (if available), and we are available on Libro.fm if you prefer to read via audiobook.  

As the anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) approaches on July 26, take this moment to learn about the historic disability rights movement and think about how we can continue to advocate for a more accessible world.
