Breaking the Chain: Unlocking Library Programming Ideas in Support of Freedom to Read

How do you encourage readers to seek out banned books? There's more than one way, that's for sure! Freedom to Read Week encourages Canadians to think about and reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom. While there is an increasingly coordinated effort to remove books tackling a wide range of topics from shelves, libraries can put just as much effort into coordinating their own engaging programs in response. This panel includes FTR advocates from across Canada who have seized the opportunity to bring community attention to banned books in creative ways. Tune into this discussion and Q&A period to inspire your own library programming and join the effort to broaden minds and encourage important dialogues!

Presented by The Partnership and hosted by The Education Institute / OLA.
