Celebrate the contributions of disabled people by exploring our reading list and sharing your favourite books.
Every year we ask for your recommendations of works that explore disability to broaden our collection and make it more inclusive. With those suggestions we created a dedicated reading list for Disability Recognition Month with a range of titles covering essays, memoirs and fiction, alongside a selection of webpages and magazines.
Many titles from the reading list are available to borrow from our libraries in print or eBook format.
