It invites readers to question their own assumptions and understandings. It celebrates and documents disability culture in the now. It looks to the future and past with hope and love. – Provided by publisher \n  \nAbout the Author: \n \nAlice Wong (she/her) is a disabled activist\, writer\, media maker\, and consultant.

SUMMARY:CFL Centennial Kickoff Event
DESCRIPTION:For 100 years\, the Cortland Free Library has been a cornerstone of our community\, a place where minds ignite\, imaginations soar\, and connections are forged. From the moment our doors first opened\, we’ve been dedicated to providing access to knowledge\, fostering a love of reading\, and empowering individuals of all ages. \n\nTo help celebrate this amazing milestone\, we’re kicking off our 100-year anniversary with a Centennial Celebration in the Cortland County Courthouse Park.\n\nCome hear remarks\, enjoy treats and free giveaways\, participate in fun activities\, and engage with our staff\, members of our Board of Trustees\, and our tremendous ally and collaborator in reading — the team from Cortland’s own outpost of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library!\n\nNotes: This event is free and open to the public. Should rain prevent gathering in the Courthouse Park\, our alternative location will be the Cortland Free Library. More (and evolving!) information can be found on the CFL website. And watch for Centennial updates and more on our social media platforms\, including Facebook and Instagram.\n\nCentennial page on our website: https://cortlandfreelibrary.org/…/cfl-celebrates-100…/
