We know your schedule is tight. That’s why we’re introducing a series of brand new crash courses: 2-hour, expert-led virtual courses that are recorded for on-demand viewing. 

Featured Crash Course: Resisting Book Bans Tactical Approaches to Defend Intellectual Freedom - December 6 

The last few years have seen a drastic uptick in book bans and curriculum challenges. As a librarian, teacher, administrator, or trustee, it can be difficult to know your options for managing these challenges and advocating for intellectual freedom and diverse educational materials. This crash course will focus on proactive preparation to ensure you are set up for success. 

After you attend this interactive online course and workshop, you’ll be able to:

• Advocate for your programs, curricula, collections, and services

• Conduct a policy audit and ensure your protections are up to date and comprehensive

• Make a plan to find allies and build coalitions to support you

• Access resources and communities dealing with similar challenges

• Develop and refer to talking points and best practices for school and library board meetings and connecting with stakeholders and community members

• Strategize ways to handle problems, disruptions, or challenges that arise during board meetings

Now with two simultaneous tracks for you to choose from! One for K-12 librarians, and one for Public organizations, and multiple expert speakers to meet your specific needs.
