MI Right to Read Miniseries- Part One

We're here today, once again, to talk about attempts to ban books from libraries. We'll look back at last year, especially some of the instances that made headlines, but we'll also talk about the rights that library patrons have when it comes to intellectual freedoms and privacy.

For more information, though, on MLA's task force for intellectual freedoms, visit MI Right to Read.
