You Gotta Fight for Your Right to Read Banned Books!
A diverse panel comprised of librarians from both the public and school communities, as well as an English teacher, author, high school students and a parent of teens brought their unique perspectives to a program on banned books called, “You Gotta Fight for Your Right to Read Banned Books.” Since the Banned Books Week materials for 2018 were recently made available, it is helpful to review some of the questions and discussions that came out of last fall's program, which was attended by 30 people and co-sponsored by the MLA Intellectual Freedom Panel and the MLA Teen Interest Group. A write-up of the 2017 panel discussion and program is included in this month's MLA newsletter, The Crab. The CRAB newsletter is published by the Maryland Library Association and is one of the many benefits of MLA membership.
