Disability History Month 2023
University of Bedfordshire libraries in junction with the Staff
Disability Network are raising awareness of disability history in the UK.
We have a selection of books on the history as
well as a collection of books that have been written by authors who have a
disability.
The Staff Disability Network have kindly donated new books to the library to celebrate some of the authors:

The display at Luton shows a timeline to the history of
disability from 1050 to the present day.
