Empower Your Library Against Book Bans

Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO) invites you to Empower Your Library Against Book Bans on Thursday, July 28th at 4:00 pm. Get to know the current state of book challenges across the U.S. with a look at what led to this particular censorship movement. This presentation will offer not only the terminology and groups associated with book challenges in public schools and libraries within and beyond New York, but it will also offer insight into how to build strong challenge policies, craft effective responses to book challenges, and connect your community allies to ensure your public institution remains committed to information access for all. All attendees will walk away with a set of resources to put this knowledge into action immediately.

This one-hour online event is free to attend but registration is required.
