YSS and the newly revitalized WLA Intellectual Freedom Special Interest Group (IF-SIG) are planning a helpful webinar free to WLA members on Tuesday April 5 from 2:00-3:00 pm.
The cost for non-members is $25 (but it's easy to become a member and share in member benefits. Just stop here to become a WLA member!)
Unofficial and official challenges have been on the rise all over the country, but there are a lot of steps that library staff can take to be prepared to respond to these concerns. Join WLA on Tuesday, April 5, from 2-3pm for a look into how to navigate these often tricky and emotional situations. Megan Schliesman will kick the webinar off with an overview of what challenges are looking like and the services available from the CCBC to support library staff. Melissa Prentice from Mead Public Library will walk through a book challenge her library recently went through. WLA Executive Director will briefly address support that is available from the Library and Legislation Committee (LD&L). Finally, Kristina Gómez will cover how one library responded to pushback on a program, as well as an update on the work of the Intellectual Freedom Special Interest Group. Come ready to learn and ask questions!
Intellectual Freedom SIG Monthly Meeting
Monday, March 28, 11:00 a.m.
At this month’s meeting we will explore ways to support Intellectual Freedom at the 2022 WLA Annual Conference (Nov 1-4, 2022 in Lake Geneva). With a theme of “Rising to the Challenge,” the annual conference gives an opportunity to support staff from around the state with in-depth workshops on a variety of topics. Help us craft an Intellectual Freedom track for this year’s conference! SIG meeting attendees will have the option to join one of five breakout rooms to brainstorm possible conference workshops: Policy Development, Staff Training & Support, Trustee Relations, Media Relations / Shaping the Narrative, and “None of those but I have a cool idea!”
