Every December 3 is International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPWD). On this day, we work to increase awareness and understanding of disability issues and the importance of the dignity, rights, well-being, and integration of people with disabilities in all aspects of life.
For IDPWD this year, Colchester-East Hants Public Library will be highlighting accessible resources in-branch and on our social media and website over the next two weeks.
We have also created an IDPWD reading list: International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2022. This is a collection of books for adult readers that centre and celebrate the lives and experiences of people with disabilities.
