The underground library : a novel / by Ryan, Jennifer(Jennifer L.),author.;

"On the day Juliet Lansdown reports to work for the first time at Bethnal Green Library, it isn't the bustling hub she's been expecting. But in the face of German attacks, she's determined to make it a place where all of their neighbors feel safe and welcome. Katie Upwood is thrilled to be working at the library too, though she's only there until she heads off to university in the fall. But after the death of her beau on the front lines and unexpected family strife, she's more in need of support than ever. Sofie Baumann, a Jewish refugee without any family to lean on, finds comfort and friendship in Bethnal Green's quickly growing literary community and escapes to the library every chance she gets. But her asylum in London is tied to a domestic work visa issued by an unscrupulous employer, leaving her vulnerable and uncertain where to turn when her work environment becomes unbearable. So when a slew of bombs damage the library, Juliet can't bear to give up on her safe haven of books and relocates the stacks into an Underground station where the city's residents shelter nightly, determined to keep lending out stories that will keep spirits up. But tragedy after tragedy strikes, threatening to unmoor the women and sever the ties of their community. Will Juliet, Kate, and Sofie be able to overcome their own troubles to save the library? Or will the beating heart of their neighborhood be lost forever?"--

Sensory Overload. by Moore, Kiana,film director.; Vox Media (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;

Originally produced by Vox Media in 2025.Nearly 20% of the world is believed to be neurodiverse. And yet, for so many, neurodivergence is still seen as negative, and sensory sensitivities are seen as strange—perceptions based in outdated stereotypes and a fundamental lack of understanding of what these things mean, and the spectrum of how they can manifest. It’s about time to shift those perceptions. The groundbreaking documentary, SENSORY OVERLOAD, aims to do exactly that, helping to rewrite the narrative around neurodivergence and sensory sensitivity by telling the true stories of individuals who prove that these aren’t deficiencies—they’re just differences. The film follows Dr. Jacob Dent, a dentist and father who pivoted his practice to focus on sensory sensitive care after his son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. It also features Lola Dada-Olley, a mother adapting to the needs and preferences of her two neurodivergent children. Finally, it tells the story of Burnett Au, a young adult on the autism spectrum who has struggled for years to find a work environment with sensory sensitive conditions and openness to neurodivergence. Filmed over the course of a year, the film weaves the stories of our heroes together with voices from experts and advocates in neurodivergence, healthcare, and policy, like Dr Virginia Spielmann and Jonathan Martinez. It follows each of our heroes as they navigate the ups and downs of their everyday lives in a world that wasn’t designed for neurodiversity. We’ll watch them encounter very real hurdles—prejudice from strangers, workplace difficulties, interpersonal mismatches, and lack of access to medical care—with resolve, resilience, and an eye towards the ways things can and should change. Through their stories, viewers will gain a better understanding of how all brains function. We’ll witness the ways neurodiversity can be a superpower, how it exists on a spectrum that touches so many of us, and how a deeper understanding of neurodiversity can help to create a more inclusive—and wonderfully sensitive—world for everyone. This isn’t just a film about the neurodivergent spectrum, it’s about the spectrum of human experience.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Resistance in a Hostile Environment: Subnormal. by Shannon, Lyttanya,film director.; BBC Studios (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;

Originally produced by BBC Studios in 2021.In the 1960s, while young black adults were getting to grips with the struggle for black power and a long fightback against police abuse was starting, the majority of West Indian migrants were keeping their heads down. They were working hard and counting on providing better opportunities and education for their children. However, in a white-dominated country, where the politics were becoming increasingly racialised, there was a question of how society, and its teachers, saw these young black children. Before having a chance to develop intellectually, they were labelled as stupid, difficult and disruptive. This documentary reveals how black children in the 1960s and 70s were sent to schools for the subnormal, and how parents, activists and teachers came together to fight this injustice.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Complicit : how our culture enables misbehaving men / by Bravo, Reah,author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."A thoroughly researched and deeply personal examination of how we unintentionally condone sexual misconduct and other workplace abuses. When Reah Bravo was hired to work on the Charlie Rose show, the open secret of Rose's behavior toward women didn't deter her from pursuing a position she felt could launch her career in broadcast journalism. She believed that she would be more than capable of handling any unprofessional behavior that might come her way. But she soon learned that the discrepancy between the strong, independently minded woman she believed herself to be and the reality of her culturally conditioned, deferential behavior was vast. No person can accurately predict how one will respond in an abusive situation until one is in it. In a post-MeToo world, where many corporations mandate trainings to prevent misconduct, how do abusers continue to victimize their colleagues? When we live in a society where many feminist ideals are mainstream and women make up a significant percentage of the workforce, why is gender harassment more prevalent than ever? In Complicit, Bravo weaves her professional and personal experiences with insights from experts and other victims to reveal the psychological and cultural forces that make us all enablers of a sexist status quo. The result is a nuanced and comprehensive view of the ways we contribute to environments that harm the most vulnerable among us. With searing research and enlightening commentary, Bravo shines a light on what exactly makes professional misconduct and toxic work environments so pervasive and charts a path towards affecting real change"--
