Facing the Censorship Challenge in Libraries
January 21 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
In today’s climate of challenges to content in libraries, it is more important than ever that librarians and community members work together to defend the right to read and intellectual freedom. Dr. April Dawkins will provide an overview of the current state of attempts to censor and limit access to information in libraries across the United States and North Carolina. Additionally, she will share what librarians are doing and how community members can assist in those efforts. Dr. Dawkins is an Assistant Professor, Department of Information, Library, and Research Sciences, University of North Carolina Greensboro.
