Hi folks,

Please forgive my logrolling here, but the amazing Jackie Mills from the Mount Angel Public Library and I are going to be panelists for a FREE webinar coming up this Thursday from the ALA Office of Intellectual Freedom.

Perhaps even more excitingly, we'll be joined by Cory Silverberg, co-author of the ALA Stonewall Honor Book Sex Is a Funny Word (with Fiona Smyth) and Mariko Tamaki, co-creator of the graphic novels This One Summer (with Jillian Tamaki) and Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me (with Rosemary Valero-O’Connell.

Banned Books Uncensored: Health, Sex, & Growing Up
Thursday, May 7, 11.00a-12.00p PDT

If you have not heard Jackie's story of the seven (!!) book challenges she received in the span of a few months, it is not to be missed. All of the challenged materials were about health & sexuality, and Jackie did a fantastic job defending the books' inclusion in her library's collection.

Cheers!
