DESCRIPTION:"Freedom to Read" is a fundamental American right: your right 
 to choose the ideas\, information\, and cultural experiences that are righ
 t for you and your family. .\nhttps://wnpl.libnet.info/event/9052807
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>That right is guaranteed by the First Amen
 dment of the United States Constitution. And your public library supports 
 that right by providing free and open access to all.</p>\n<p>Book bans inf
 ringe on that right. When people demand that libraries remove books\, they
  deny you and others the right to choose. Those demands are happening at a
 n unprecedented rate. The American Library Association (ALA) reports more 
 book challenges in 2022 than any previous year.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>This Banned
  Books Week webinar\, moderated by columnist Heidi Stevens\, will share ho
 w to effectively support intellectual freedom. We will examine the current
  state of book challenges\, Illinois&rsquo\; legislative response\, and th
 e implications of censorship on communities with this panel of experts:&nb
 sp\;</p>\n<p>Alexi Giannoulias\, Illinois Secretary of State and State Lib
 rarian<br />Monica Harris\, executive director\, Reaching Across Illinois 
 Library System<br />Jasmine Warga\, author of challenged books\; The Shape
  of Thunder and Other Words for Home<br />Jarrett Dapier\, author of chall
 enged picture books and freedom to read advocate</p>\n<p>This presentation
