2007 PreconferenceSpend an afternoon with library intellectual freedom activists from around the United States as we celebrate one of our profession's most important documents: The ALA's Library Bill of Rights. A panel of speakers who have faced challenges will talk about what the LBOR means to them. Then, there will be an opportunity to participate in facilitated table discussions of the many LBOR interpretations that have been passed by ALA Council over the years. This program is guaranteed to engage and enthuse participants.
