[OLA-IF-News] Opportunities to provide feedback for ALA Intellectual Freedom Manual

[Ross Betzer]

The ALA Intellectual Freedom Manual is one of my go-to professional
reference books. And - good news! - there will be a new edition coming out
in 2020.

In preparation for that, the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee is asking
for feedback on the interpretations of the Library Bill of Rights. Here are
some interpretations currently accepting feedback:

*Meeting Rooms: An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights *(feedback
due by June 4, 2018)

The IFC would appreciate comments on "Meeting Rooms: An Interpretation of
the Library Bill of Rights." It was approved by Council in July 1991 (view
the current interpretation here<

>).
