Public libraries are champions of intellectual freedom, providing access to information, diverse perspectives, and spaces for free expression. But in an era of rising polarization and challenges to materials, how can we uphold these core values managing everyday realities?

This one-day symposium explores the evolving landscape of censorship, advocacy, and community engagement. With expert insights, practical tools, and actionable strategies, you’ll be better equipped to navigate these challenges and strengthen your library’s commitment to intellectual freedom.

Tailored for rural library managers, staff, and trustees, this event will inspire meaningful discussions and empower you to advocate for the principles that make libraries essential.
