Challenges to books are on the rise around the world but among international school librarians the conversation is often driven by North American institutions, laws, and norms. How can we learn from these organizations and their resources while still keeping our own unique contexts, countries, and cultures in mind? Learn how to protect and empower yourself and your library through sharing expertise, building strong policies and communities, and expanding your understanding of intellectual freedom in the international school context. Participants will work together to strengthen their existing policies and procedures and will engage with case studies to help hone their responses to book challenges from within their communities.
