<div dir="ltr">Good morning, Oregon! For the last several years, I have represented the Public Library Association as liaison to the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee. I wanted to let you know the ALA IFC has created and ALA Council has adopted three revised interpretations of the Library Bill of Rights. The topics are meeting rooms, library-initiated programs and services to people with disabilities. You'll find links and additional information below.<div><br></div><div>You'll also find a link below to information about two additional resources that were just created--one on social media policy and one on managing library programs that may prove controversial in your community. </div><div><br></div><div>I hope you will find these resources helpful. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. And remember, your OLA Intellectual Freedom Committee and the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom are always there for you, too!</div><div><br></div><div>Warm regards to all,</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><i>Cindy</i></div><div dir="ltr"><b><br></b></div><div dir="ltr"><b>Cindy Gibbon</b><div><b>Director of Policy and Special Projects</b></div><div>My schedule: Monday through Friday</div><div>Multnomah County Library</div><div>503.988.5496</div><div><a href="http://multcolib.org" target="_blank">multcolib.org</a></div><div><br></div><div>Pronouns: She, her, hers</div><div><br></div><div><img src="https://multcolib.org/sites/default/files/MultCoLib_2LineLogo_RGBemail_sig2.png"> <br></div><div><img src="https://multco.us/sites/default/files/styles/small/public/InclusiveSign_email-signature_FINAL.jpeg?itok=D8MA9Y9G" width="96" height="60"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
