Libraries and Reading: Intellectual Disability and the Extent of Library Diversity

In Libraries and Reading, expert authors Matthew Conner and Leah Plocharczyck re-examine the modern history of libraries and diversity, looking at the recent legislative history of those with IDD, theories of general and special education, and case studies of innovative grassroots work around the globe. Including real-world examples, they show how we can make big changes through small steps. 
In a climate of tightened budgets and severe demands on public literacy resources, the moral imperative of helping those with IDD runs up against practical barriers. Conner and Plocharczyck go to the foundations of social justice in Cultural Studies to show how the means of integrating those with disabilities into libraries and communities can be found in our everyday practices
