Great conversation with ALA President @edrabinski on how our Libraries Transforming Communities Grants are helping small and rural libraries engage with their communities in new ways and better serve people with disabilities.
"We want life full of joy. We want life full of freedom, and those are things thatwe can get from our local public libraries.”
Excited to share this bonus episode on libraries and accessibility featuring @edrabinski @ALALibrary!

.@VoxDotCome editor Sean Collins advocates for #AltText, increasing news #accessibility for blind people. He & his partner @QudsiyaNaqui discuss the art of crafting powerful image descriptions in this episode of @DownToTheStruts (Tap ALT on this pic) downtothestruts.com/episodes…
ALT Sean, in black glasses, a short black beard, and short black hair, and Qudsiya, with long black curls, smile broadly, their faces close together, in front of a rectangular reflecting pool ringed by greenery. Sean is wearing a black and brown herringbone coat, and Qudsiya a forest green car coat. Tall, thin palm trees tower behind them, reaching into a cloudy sky. Alt text by Sean Collins.
