Let’s See Your Smile: Public Library Wants Your High School Yearbook
Much like the McAlpin’s department store’s teased-straight-up, rock star-permed hair you had back in your 1992 yearbook senior photo, the Library’s digital yearbook collection isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. And much like those hairdos, the bigger, the better – and that’s where the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library needs your help!
The library wants to add to its 1,200 local and regional yearbooks already digitally scanned using high-resolution scanners and preserved in the Digital Library, which is fully searchable. Any alumni of Greater Cincinnati high schools can help the library grow its collection.
Visit cinlib.org/yearbooklist to see which school yearbooks they still need! Reach out to your local branch for details or call (513) 369-6945.
Promoting Inclusive, Respectful Language
Talking about disability doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does need to be respectful. The Disability Language Style Guide provides tools that can help people use more inclusive language.
This guide discusses why language matters, defines disability-related terms, and shares resources to help people talk about disabilities in an inclusive way. It also includes stories from local people.
The Disability Language Style Guide is a collaboration among people with disabilities and organizations in Southwest Ohio that support and empower people with disabilities. It’s now available online at styleguide.hamiltondds.org.
