    Hello everyone,

    Apologies for cross-posting this to the blog and ALA Connect...I wanted to ensure everyone heard about this excellent CHOICE Media Channel webinar video:

    From the official description: "Join us for the 2023 Annual Register Edmund Burke Lecture, featuring Richard Ovenden, Director of Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford, and author of the acclaimed book, Burning the Books: A History of the Deliberate Destruction of Knowledge. In this thought-provoking webinar, journey through time to explore the enduring role of libraries as bastions of culture and knowledge, while also confronting the relentless threats they have faced"
