Recording available to view---Critical Conversations: What to Know About Intellectual Freedom, Book Challenges, and Libraries
by Janet Ingraham Dwyer 2 years, 6 months agoPlease excuse multiple postings…
The program is in two parts. First, the speakers from American Library Association’s (ALA) Office of Intellectual Freedom gave a presentation on the current climate of book challenges and intellectual freedom and how libraries can be prepared. In the second part of the program, the panel engages in a dialog with Library Consultant Erin Kelsey from the State Library of Ohio to dig deeper into the subject and answer questions submitted before and during the event.
In an effort to create a supportive learning experience for participants, we have curated a resources webpage with helpful articles on intellectual freedom and libraries. To foster continued growth and learning, the Library Leadership Ohio planning committee introduced the “Be the Change” leadership workshop series. Visit libraryleadershipohio.org for more information and to register for upcoming events. For more continuing education resources, check our Statewide Shared CE Calendar, Continuing Education Roundup and Webjunction for a variety of articles and webinars on hot topics and core competencies for library staff of all types.
If you have trouble accessing the video, or have ideas for future Critical Conversations topics, email Erin Kelsey, library consultant at the State Library of Ohio at ekelsey@library.ohio.gov.
