The mission of the Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) is to provide a forum for discussion of activities, programs, and problems of instruction in the use of libraries; to contribute to the education and training of librarians for library instruction; to promote instruction in the use of libraries as an essential library service, and to serve as a channel of communication on library instruction between the ALA divisions, ALA and ACRL committees, state clearinghouses, Project LOEX, other organizations concerned with instruction in the use of libraries, and members of the Association.

    See below for an opportunity to publish in a forthcoming book if you have worked/are working with high school or middle school students (more information in the attached PDF):

    Calling all library professionals! Have you taught middle or high school students about book censorship, free speech, or intellectual property? How about algorithms, artificial intelligence, or misinformation? In what other ways have you integrated intellectual freedom instruction into your school library program? Please consider submitting a lesson plan proposal aligning intellectual freedom principles with AASL Standards using best practices for teaching and learning for a new book project with the working title Free to Read, Free to Think: Teaching Intellectual Freedom to Teens. Together, this compilation of lesson plans will support those working with middle through high school students to explore the meaning of intellectual freedom and the application of these principles in their own lives.
