A celebration of intellectual freedom and access! Join frequently
banned authors, Chris Crutcher and Sonya Sones, and American Library
Association Intellectual Freedom Expert, Kent Oliver, for this unique
videoconference event. Participants will hear about Sonya and Chris'
experiences as frequently banned authors, come to understand the history
of book banning in the United States and examine contemporary issues in
intellectual freedom and access to information. This event will include
discussions/presentations by each panelist, followed by an interactive
question and answer session. There are two ways to get involved: as an
interactive videoconference site OR as a live webstream observer. Spaces
for interactive videoconference sites are limited and will be available
on a first-come, first-serve basis. Interactive videoconference sites
must have Internet2 connectivity and H.323 videoconferencing equipment.
There is no need to register for the program if you'd like to observe
the live stream. This event is sponsored by MAGPI and The American
Library Association.
