Legally Speaking: Freedom to Read

Executive Director of the Freedom to Read Foundation and attorney Deborah Caldwell-Stone will share an overview of the ways the First Amendment protects patron access to information, and the role current and historic cases have had in protecting librarians while serving their community members. She will also review minors’ rights under the First Amendment along with examples of how the courts have addressed challenges to materials in schools, including definitions for terms such as obscenity, which frequently is used as the basis for materials challenges. Having an awareness of the law, and the ways we uphold access with well-designed policies, can help librarians prepare for challenges.
