Books Beyond Barriers explores the wonders of books, resources, research and insights all about (and for!) the disability community. In each episode, host Krissy Wright, librarian at the CCS Disability Action Library and Information Service, will provide helpful resource recommendations, share gems of information, and sometimes even invite special guests to share their insights.
Whether you’re looking for resources on a specific topic, want to learn something new about disability or simply want to hear from people who understand your lived experience, Books Beyond Barriers is here to support you on your journey.
Join us as we dive into the diverse stories that make up the disability community and strive to make good information accessible to all!
