Banned Books 101: What Your Library Boards & Trustees Need to Know
A free “lunch and learn” presented by United for Libraries and the Freedom to Read Foundation.
Description
Whether or not their community has experienced book bans, library Trustees/Board Members have a responsibility to protect access to books, programs, and resources in their libraries. Learn what board members need to know about the current state of book bans in the U.S., and how to advocate for the freedom to read and activate local support networks. Find out about United for Libraries and ALA resources, including Unite Against Book Bans, Advocacy Academy, and “Reader. Voter. Ready."
