[Text  Description automatically generated]The State Library of Ohio and Ohionet hosted <https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/critical-conversations/> What to Know About Intellectual Freedom, Book Challenges, and Libraries<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/critical-conversations/#IntellectualFreedom> on April 18.  The virtual event garnered a huge response with about 200 tuning in live! A recording of the event is now available to view on the State Library of Ohio’s YouTube page.<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2CtEhxhUXE> 

The program is in two parts. First, the speakers from American Library Association’s (ALA) Office of Intellectual Freedom gave a presentation on the current climate of book challenges and intellectual freedom and how libraries can be prepared.  In the second part of the program, the panel engages in a dialog with Library Consultant Erin Kelsey from the State Library of Ohio to dig deeper into the subject and answer questions submitted before and during the event.

In an effort to create a supportive learning experience for participants, we have curated a resources webpage<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/critical-conversations/#IntellectualFreedom> with helpful articles on intellectual freedom and libraries. To foster continued growth and learning, the Library Leadership Ohio planning committee introduced the “Be the Change” leadership workshop series. Visit libraryleadershipohio.org<https://libraryleadershipohio.org/about/be-the-change-series/> for more information and to register for upcoming events.
