  Program Description:  

  Attendees will learn strategies for broadening Banned Books Week (BBW) programming through the inclusion of Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) BBW materials and focus cases. Program will include a presentation of new programming materials and related strategies for inclusion in libraries at all levels (school, public, academic), a discussion of how the human rights framework and international issues of censorship can deepen BBW programming and, perhaps, deflect criticism, and a brief review of the current Amnesty International Banned Books Week focus cases. Learn about featured authors and resources for Amnesty International’s Banned Books Week 2024.
