SDS Opens Lending Library
Location: 420 CCC
SDS has had the good fortune to receive a gift from Rhonda Carniol '79 to develop a lending library of materials on disability for the Cornell Community in the memory of her mother, Diane Carniol. This is a fitting tribute to a dedicated educator who helped her students recognize and reach their true potential.
The lending library is a growing collection of books and materials on disability topics. These resources have been chosen to expand our knowledge of how disability fits into the spectrum of the college experience. We welcome you to borrow from our library and hope you will continue to check back with us as our collection grows. Check out the list: Lending Library
