<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Book challenges and bans have been on the rise across the nation since 2020, especially in public and school libraries. Many librarians have faced these challenges with
courage and commitment to the principles of intellectual freedom and access to information, while others have yet to deal with this issue.<br>
<br>
In this presentation, Shannon Oltmann will refresh our understanding of intellectual freedom, explore the rise in book challenges, consider how to respond to challenges, and draw on the experiences and perspectives of other library professionals. <br>
<br>
If you're interested but not able to attend the live webinar, go ahead and register. We'll send a recording to all registrants after the fact.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

If you’re ready to take on DEI work, but have little experience or need a refresher, this workshop will give you the foundational knowledge needed to start your DEI work and engage in a growing national conversation. Participants will leave understanding what
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in the workplace means, and will leave with some helpful tools to begin these conversations with colleagues, friends, and family.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
