Register now for Foundations of Intellectual Freedom from Amigos

Across the nation, administrators in libraries of all sizes are experiencing an increase in material censorship challenges. What is the role of libraries regarding intellectual freedom? And what should it be? Now more than ever, library workers must be prepared to understand policies, best practices, and specific ways we can all support community conversations that support intellectual freedom. Join us for this timely topic and discuss roadblocks to access to knowledge and the library's role in the current landscape.

This workshop is designed to help attendees develop a broad understanding of intellectual freedom as a professional value, identify areas in library policy, procedure, and application of service where barriers to access should be removed, and learn to have conversations about intellectual freedom challenges. A unique format will make this material more approachable and help attendees learn practical applications - three sessions consisting of short information components followed by a small group breakout, where attendees will be led through scenarios.

The course is scheduled with sessions on February 16, 24 & March 2, 2022 10 am - 12 pm CST, so register now!
