We so appreciate @AlvaradoGilSD4 providing the State Library with a copy of her SCR91 resolution (about the founding of the State of California). We are now working to get it included in our exhibit on the 175th anniversary of California statehood.

At the @CAStateLibrary's Braille and Talking Book Library (which served 48 of CA's 58 counties), our team works hard to ensure that all Californians have access to both work-related and fiction reading materials. gov.ca.gov/2025/10/07/gov…

Be sure to check out Governor Newsom's Proclamation in both English and Braille declaring October 2025 as “Disability Employment Awareness Month.” This is the first time in the history of the state that a proclamation has been issued in Braille. gov.ca.gov/2025/10/07/gov…

California joins the nation in recognizing Disability Employment Awareness Month — a celebration of the 7M+ adults with disabilities who call California home and enrich our state. Together, we can keep growing an inclusive workforce for the fourth-largest economy in the world.



It’s #bannedbooks week and this year’s theme is: “Censorship is so 1984. Read for your Rights.” You can read your rights with our copies of 1984 by George Orwell in Polish, French and Finnish.
