Committee meetings cover an array of topics and we always encourage dialogue on current events. Are you struggling with quiet censorship or challenges to programming? This month Banned Books Week is September 22nd-28th. Does your library have any plans? Have any title suggestions for a Banned Books storytime? Or maybe you just read an amazing book about banned books and need to let everyone know?
Join the committee as we discuss these topics and more next Tuesday. We look forward to seeing you!
