*Monday, October 24 @ 6:00 PM Eastern*
School librarians across the United States are feeling the physical and
emotional effects of an increase in book challenges, including new
legislation, affecting materials in school and classroom libraries.
Sustaining the joy of reading can feel difficult in the best of
circumstances, and can feel almost impossible when faced with a threat of
censorship that goes against a student’s freedom to read, as outlined in
the ALA Library Bill of Rights. As in many times of strife, taking time to
focus on joy can beat back the darkness and bring light—to our students and
to ourselves. Join Melissa Thom, Amanda Jones, and Courtney Pentland as
they discuss ways to continue celebrating the joy of reading with students
of all ages.

Join us to:

   - Learn about what school librarians are facing across the country
   - Find community in shared experiences & resources for support
   - Leave with student-centered strategies to implement in your library
   today to sustain the joy of reading
