Book challenges and bans continue to shape libraries and communities nationwide. Join librarians for a candid conversation about intellectual freedom, censorship, and the realities of responding to book challenges. Drawing on their professional experiences, they will discuss how librarians balance access, community concerns, and the freedom to read while serving the public. Moderated by Kate Davis, Assistant Director, Jersey City Free Public Library, this timely virtual discussion offers an inside look at one of the most important issues facing libraries today.
