Description
Throughout November and December, UWE Bristol Library is hosting Disability History Month book giveaways, to raise awareness about disability history, issues surrounding stigma, and people's experiences of living with a disability.
We'll be hiding the giveaway books around our campuses, and we'll be posting location clues on our Instagram Stories. If you find a book, it's yours to keep.
This book giveaway features Seeing Voices by Oliver Sacks. A book with a focus on the often-overlooked deaf community. Sacks highlights the rich and unique visual culture of this community, which is often invisible to most.
