  • 1.  The BIG CHAIR needs you!

    Hi, everyone.

    Reupping the call for volunteers -- we still need some help with the Big Chair!

    This is a great opportunity to network, talk up your group or round table, and meet other attendees. We expect some authors will also pop in, so you might have a chance to talk to them as well!

    Sign up here.

    (Please share this opportunity with your colleagues!)

    Don't forget: Join the Freedom to Read Foundation, Intellectual Freedom Round Table, and University of Illinois School of Information Sciences for a celebration of intellectual freedom heroes during the Intellectual Freedom Awards at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 27 (Philadelphia Marriott, Salon E). 

    Find a full listing of IF, privacy, and advocacy events here (email oif@ala.org if anything is missing): Your Guide to Intellectual Freedom, Privacy, and Advocacy at ALA Annual 2025

    Thank you,
    Betsy
