AJL members and Jewish Kidlit Mavens are invited to an important Zoom discussion.
*SSCPL Roundtable: Freedom to Read vs Freedom from Disinformation* Wednesday, September 14, 2022 4:00pm PT / 7:00pm ET Like most librarians, we at the Association of Jewish Libraries are concerned about the increase in book banning and the suppression of marginalized voices. At the same time, AJL members were disturbed to hear the defense of Holocaust denial books made at ALA’s 2022 annual conference during a session about the Unite Against Book Bans campaign. This panel will explore the tensions between defending the freedom to read and guarding against harmful disinformation. Our guests are Deborah Caldwell-Stone, Director of ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, and Michael Berenbaum, Professor at American Jewish University specializing in the study of the Holocaust. This session is cosponsored by AJL’s SSCPL Division and Jewish Kidlit Mavens, and is open only to AJL members and members of Jewish Kidlit Mavens.
