Freedom to Read is offering a webinar 05/12:
The Challenge of Challenges: Strategies for Protecting Inclusion and Silencing Censors
"We strive to create inclusive library collections that reflect a diverse global community. But what happens when members of the school community challenge or attempt to ban such inclusive materials? In this session, high school librarians Leslie Edwards and Martha Hickson share the tools, strategies, and resources that helped them preserve inclusion and successfully oppose their district’s attempt to ban Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home from their school libraries. In addition to getting access to the materials used to defend the book, participants will receive a checklist and links for preparing a Challenge Emergency Kit composed of free resources that can be customized for any challenged book in any school or grade level."

The second one will cost you 25 gold coins if not a FTRF member.

Cheers,
Bryan Neil Jones  | Systems Librarian
