Reads and Rights

Welcome to Bath Spa University Library’s timeline for the ‘Reads and Rights’ campaign. Reads and Rights is a year-long project to celebrate equality and diversity in the library collections and beyond. In this timeline you will find books, people and films that have had an impact on society’s attitudes and beliefs towards equality and diversity. The entries have all been curated from suggestions by our students and staff and are colour-coded according to theme. Something missing? You can suggest a book, person or film [here.](http://www.bathspa.ac.uk/library/news/reads-and-rights);xNLx;;xNLx;For the best view of the timeline click on 3d in the bottom left hand corner.;xNLx;;xNLx;[Takedown policy](https://drive.google.com/a/bathspa.ac.uk/file/d/0B3h5cznCJi1YN2ZnVjh5SnoxNmc/view?usp=sharing)
