Join Andrea and Mason, FLIC staff, for a Community Reads discussion of the book Demystifying Disability by Emily Ladau from 5:30-7pm on November 11, at Ulysses Philomathic Library. This book is a great resource to learn more about the basics of disability, history of the disability rights movements, and practical tips so that you can show up as an effective support and ally.

Participants will read the book on their own, and then come together at UPL to enjoy an evening of snacks and discussion around the fireplace. FLIC staff will have some discussion questions prepared, but please bring any questions and thoughts you may have, as well.

FLIC and UPL have copies of the book available if needed. Please reach out to Andrea at [email protected] if you need another format for the book or have any accessibility needs related to this event.

Businesses and organizations:

FLIC conducts free-of-charge accessibility audits for businesses and organizations in Tompkins County. Accessibility audits are designed to help businesses and organizations better understand the accessibility requirements that make these physical spaces ADA compliant and universally accessible.

Our audits focus on key areas that should be evaluated so that all people, including people with disabilities, can navigate your building and environment effectively, comfortably, and safely. Improvements to accessibility will show your clients or customers that you truly care about their well-being.
