The Justin A. McCurry Library & Resource Center is named in honor of Justin McCurry, a young man with developmental disabilities who worked in the Oklahoma Developmental Disabilities Council offices from 2000 until his death in 2004.

Justin was passionate about his work, and well-loved by council members and staff. He was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers; the logo for the library named for him was designed with a small green letter G in the spine of the book, as a subtle tribute to Justin’s beloved team.

The Justin A. McCurry Library & Resource Center is a collaboration between the Oklahoma Developmental Disabilities Council, the Oklahoma Disability Law Center, and the Center for Learning and Leadership at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.
