Survey Input Requested - Intellectual Freedom Manual

  • 1.  Survey Input Requested - Intellectual Freedom Manual

    Posted Jul 20, 2023 03:09 PM

    Hello everyone-

    **Apologies for the cross-posting **

    The American Library Association last published the Intellectual Freedom Manual in 2021. Now the co-editors, Erin Berman and John Spears, are preparing for a new edition. They're asking for input from library staff, students, trustees, educators, and anyone else who cares about protecting intellectual freedom. It doesn't matter if you've never heard of the Intellectual Freedom Manual or if you use it a lot-they want to hear from you. Please take a few minutes to answer this short survey and tell others about it too. 

    Your input is especially invaluable as we know school librarians have been on the frontlines of book challenges.  I hope you will make time to share your input and also consider sharing within your chapters.  If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me; I will pass along any questions to the co-editors.

    With appreciation for all you do-

    Becky Calzada
