Rep. Elizabeth reintroduces bill to create state ADA coordinator, citing federal requirement Representative Elizabeth reintroduced H.861 asking the state to designate an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) coordinator — a post she said federal law requires for public entities with 50 or more employees — and urged the committee to authorize one full-time position and grievance procedures to ensure consistent compliance.

Rep. Elizabeth Burrows is pushing for a crucial ADA coordinator role in Vermont to ensure consistent accessibility for all, highlighting a federal requirement that’s been overlooked!

I believe there are small signs of progress, but access to learning still isn’t equal. Children with disabilities need more than permission to learn they need systems built for them.

Disability advocates press lawmakers to impose fines on rideshare drivers who refuse service animals Dozens of service-animal users, disability advocates and legal organizations told a joint legislative committee that H.2066 is needed because current complaint processes are slow and company policies have not stopped frequent refusals by Uber and Lyft drivers; witnesses urged statutory fines and simpler enforcement.

A powerful coalition is demanding action against rideshare drivers who deny rides to passengers with service animals, urging lawmakers to pass H.2066 to impose significant fines for such discrimination.

Further comments have been posted. Please forgive the order of the comments. I haven't been doing well lately due to my disabilities and health issues. I at one point replied to my very first post, and it broke the comment thread. #booksky 📚💙 #ILL #books #ebook #Book #equalaccess #Library #Libraries

(10) Final comment: Some people say: get it on the internet, or travel outside of your area to another library to get it. Not everyone has access to the internet, or access to a tablet, smartphone, computer, or laptop. Some can't travel, due to disability. #booksky 📚💙 #equalaccess #reading #disabled

A History of Public Libraries in the United States from the 18th Century The story of the American public library system, its community impact, and the librarians who made it possible.

Public libraries were once a revolutionary idea.

Free books. Free learning. No status check at the door.

In the U.S., they’ve shaped immigrants, workers, and dreamers for centuries.

Here’s how it all began 👇
