The members of the ALSC Intellectual Freedom Committee were delighted to be invited to contribute monthly to the ALSC Blog. Starting in September, you will see a post from committee members on the third Saturday of every month.<\/p>\n

\u00a0A little bit about us. The ALSC Intellectual Freedom Committee serves as a liaison between the division and the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee and all other groups within ALA concerned with intellectual freedom; we advise the division on matters before the Office of Intellectual Freedom and their implication for library service to children; we make recommendations to the ALA IF Committee for changes to policies regarding library service to children; and we promote in-service and continuing education. That is a lot to do! But what fun!<\/p>\n

AND I am pleased to announce that we will be hosting a dynamic program with\u00a0Susan Linn<\/a>\u00a0at ALA Annual in Chicago, so this year’s committee is busy, busy, busy.<\/p>\n

Speaking of busy, what kind of plans do you have for Banned Books Week this year? It is coming up quickly. I just had my photo taken with\u00a0My Mom’s Having a Baby!<\/em>\u00a0by Dori Hillestad Butler, which will be made into a poster and bookmarks. The READ posters are a lot of fun and they get people talking.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to\u00a0contact me<\/a>\u00a0if you have any questions or concerns for the ALSC IF Committee. We would love to hear from you!<\/p>\n

Heather Acerro, ALSC Intellectual Freedom Committee Chair<\/p>\n
