Hi Everyone,
See you tomorrow night, Tuesday, December 9, 2025  at 7 pm CT/ 8 pm ET
<https://events.uiowa.edu/event/35295>, for the fourth 2025-2026 UIOWA SLIS
Professional Development Series "*Professional Growth Through Personal
Engagement*" session featuring *Dr. Jenna Spiering on "Advocacy Through
Research on School Libraries."* This will be our last session for the Fall
semester.



Dr. Jenna Spiering is Associate Professor and Coordinator of the school
library concentration at the University of South Carolina's School of
Information, where she teaches within the school librarian preparation
program and engages in research related to youth materials and issues of
censorship and selection. In this talk, she will discuss her recent work on
several projects related to challenges to LGBTQIA+ titles as well as the
impact of state regulations on the role of school librarians in collection
development. Each project has been developed to gain a better understanding
of the shifting landscape of school librarianship among the unprecedented
wave of book challenges, district, state, federal mandates and legislation,
and heightened scrutiny. With this increased scrutiny it's more important
than ever for school librarians to be equipped with research that explores
the complex layers of the effort to ban and censor materials in K-12
schools, illuminating the threats and highlighting the opportunities for
resistance and advocacy within the profession.
