I like banned books and I cannot lie
It's Banned Books Week and Lila has some celebrations going on! Drop by the library to check out our display of banned books and join us for our Banned Books Week convocation program.
Here is what you need to know:
What? Internet Censorship in TN: Information Wants to be Free! (personal/professional growth category)
When? Wednesday, Sept. 28 from 7-8 pm
Where? Leu 117
Karyn Storts-Brink, high school librarian from Knoxville will speak through Skype about joining her students in suing the Knox County School District for using Internet filters to block “gay positive” websites while allowing access to “gay negative” sites. Storts-Brinks fought for intellectual freedom, arguing that students were only allowed to access one side of information about LGBT issues. In 2009, the school district agreed to unblock the sites with LGBT information and as a result, all schools in Tennessee changed the settings on their Internet filtering software. This convocation program is being co-sponsored by Bunch Library and Bridge Builders as part of Banned Books Week’s celebration of intellectual freedom.
