FREE MLA Connect Webinar: Protecting the Freedom to Read with your Library's Material Reconsideration Process


Monday, January 13, 2025

10:00 - 11:30 AM



While the Freedom to Read legislation did not advance in the last legislative cycle, you can still incorporate many of the protections outlined in the bills into your library's policies and practices right now.



Join a special MLA Connect Webinar on Zoom on Monday, January 13, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and explore practical steps and strategies to uphold the principles of intellectual freedom, protect your library's resources from bad-faith censorship attempts, and support library staff.



Anne Seurynck, Library Law Attorney, Foster, Swift, Collin & Smith, PC, and Clare Membiela, Library Law Consultant, Library of Michigan will join us to answer questions and guide you through understanding the reconsideration process and its importance, practical strategies for implementing intellectual freedom principles, and how to adapt your library's policies in the current legislative landscape.



This webinar is free to attend but registration is required.
