"How Books End Up Walking the Plank: Supporting Intellectual Freedom
During Banned Books Week." Her presentation will examine
Banned Books Week (September 29 through October 6 this year) by
looking at questions such as "What is it? Why do we celebrate
it? What does it mean for a book to be banned? What can
a community do to support a book or an author?"
