LIVING LIBRARY: LEARN ABOUT GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR DISABLED PEOPLE

Would you like to learn more about what great customer service is to disabled people? Come along to these relaxed and engaging events to build your confidence and understanding about what really makes a difference for disabled people and their families.

A Living Library is just like an ordinary library, except all the books are people. You borrow a ‘book’ you would like to know more about. Then you sit and talk for 20 minutes and ask the questions you might not otherwise have the opportunity to ask.

There are eight ‘books’ to choose from including:

Being Mummy. The story of a mummy and her fun-loving nonverbal son.
Never judge a book by its cover. “I never judge a book by its cover because I can’t see it.” A book about navigating the world as a blind woman.
Hitting the high notes. The story of a touring musician, choral director and wheelchair user who has travelled the world.
