Speaker: Lisa Lintner, Chair of Indiana FREADOM to Read Coalition and Director of the Johnson County, Indiana Public Library
The Indiana General Assembly and county councils, school districts, and libraries across the state, including those in St. Joseph County, have been grappling with these questions pertaining to books and access to information: What books should Hoosiers be allowed to read in school or check out of the public library? Who decides which texts are “inappropriate” for students? What say, if any, should parents have in removing books from library shelves? What role should the public and politicians play in deciding what books are available, and where they are placed, in our public libraries?
Lisa will explain the FREADOM to Read Coalition's mission to ensure that every Hoosier enjoys unrestricted freedom to read and access books of all genres.
