• Monday, October 6th, South Oval, 9:00am-3:00pm: join us on the South Oval to speak with current students, librarians, and other professionals about what you can do to fight censorship, keep books available in your libraries, and promote the freedom to read! Grab SLIS and library swag and resources.
  
  
• Wednesday, October 8th 5:30-6:30 pm (Zoom): attend our interactive webinar Protecting Voices by Combatting Soft Censorship. With book challenges on the rise, instances of soft censorship in libraries are most likely rising, too. This session will define what soft censorship is and provide librarians with advice for ensuring all voices are protected on our library shelves. Free to attend, registration required.
