This story of ILLC, a nursing home for disabled kids and teens, as told by its residents and staff is bleakly honest about the greed, abuse, and other systemic problems that plague the institutions that house the most vulnerable. Vivid characters put a human face on this story and temper its bleakness with the hope of people who really care. The full cast audiobook performance makes this powerful story even more affecting. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Libby is great for audiobooks- my hold came in and I was so happy to listen to this sweet historical romance. A gentle love story between two “outsiders” -an aristocratic Lady who can not walk and a son of aristocracy who is illegitimate. A tender book - not a lot of action etc … but a good escape from a stressful week ❤️ 🐉

This is a book that everyone should read to understand how institutions work, to empathize with those who are failed by the system, and to be aware of their own outlook on their fellow human beings. When you consider yourself superior to another person for whatever reason - race, gender, ability, religion, etc., you may justify all kinds of horrible behaviors. It‘s a cautionary tale that‘s also woven with resilience and hope.

A work of fiction that could very well be true. You meet many characters that are part of this institution for disabled youth. You get to know many awesome human beings but along with that also comes the lowest of the low who are allowed to do what they do because generally these institutions are set up to be profit makers.

I Will Dance | Nancy Bo Flood

Inspired by an actual young dancer the author knows, and an actual inclusive dance company that has been around since the late 80s, working with kids of all mobility levels, having them collaborate with professional choreographers to create a new kind of artistic community. This is the kind of empowering representation of creating accommodations, and confronting ableism that we need to start seeing more of. #BBRCPictureBookLetterI @LibrarianRyan

Alexis Hall really knows how to write a good pining #romance like YESSSS ?? this was so nice to read, dialogue is great and it works that the mains grew up together but also the development was amazing! even the "side" plot was interesting bc you know I'm here for the adult romance. Also the narrator, amazing! #queer #trans #disability #disabled #lgbtq
