Event Details
You've see the headlines about books being banned - but what's really going on? Join Librarian Rebecca Harlow as we explore:
- What books are being challenged
- Who is behind the bans and why
- How books get challenged or removed
- Where it's happening
- The laws and policies governing book challenges
- And why it matters to all of us
Get the facts, understand the trends, and learn why defending intellectual freedom is important for everyone.
