As part of our Civic Awareness Series and in partnership with The League of Women Voters, Cantigny welcomes Joyce McIntosh for a presentation on the issue of banned books.
Joyce will discuss the current state of challenges throughout the U.S.; how the First Amendment is related to our public and school libraries; and ways that people can advocate on behalf of intellectual freedom in their communities.
Meet the Speaker: Joyce McIntosh is the Assistant Program Director for the Freedom to Read Foundation (FTRF), an organization dedicated to First Amendment education, litigation, and advocacy. She has worked at the intersection of intellectual freedom, communication, and the First Amendment for three decades. With FTRF and the American Library Association, her work focuses on education about the First Amendment and censorship, and helping librarians navigate challenges to intellectual freedom.
Location: Le Jardin
Online participants will receive a Zoom link - registration required.
