MLA's Keynote Lunch Speaker Pat Wagner
by Rebecca Higgerson 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

I was so impressed with the luncheon talk and afternoon session by Pat Wager at the recent MLA conference that I reached out to her for our 2018 Staff In-Service day. Brandon Library, along with two other public libraries near Ortonville, would like to host her on Friday, October 5. She is giving us a break on her speaking fee, but the travel costs are static. Pat suggested we “could find neighboring libraries or universities that might want to put together a road trip, sharing travel. I would discount for them as well.” If you are interested in hearing Pat’s dynamic presentation around that date, please let me know as soon as possible. She is definitely worth it! http://www.sieralearn.com/ “Pat Wagner’s programs stand out in a wealth of professional development opportunities our region offered. She gets to the point with useful, thought-provoking ideas that can change how we look at our world.” Connie Paul, Retired ExecutiveDirector, Central Jersey Regional Library Cooperative, Freehold, NJ Thanks, *Rebecca Higgerson* Director Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1474 248-627-9880 (fax) *“We enhance and strengthen community by providing open access to educational information, recreational materials, and programs that enrich lives and promote lifelong learning.”*

ALA Webinar: Privacy to Pornography: What Staff Need to Know about Intellectual Freedom November 27 @ 2:00PM
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Greetings! To register for this essential ALA Webinar, visit: http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/webinar/staff. Privacy to Pornography: What Staff Need to Know about Intellectual Freedom Whether you're an educator or library director, front-facing circulation desk staff member or behind-the-scenes cataloger, understanding the First Amendment rights of your patrons is essential. In this one-hour webinar, Freedom to Read Foundation consultant Joyce Hagen-McIntosh will review best practices and ALA guidelines for topics ranging from privacy and pornography, to access and selection. Hagen-McIntosh will help librarians navigate the abundance of ALA resources and policies by providing real-world examples and addressing common issues in the library community. This 101 session is a perfect opportunity for students and new professionals to delve into intellectual freedom advocacy, and a helpful refresher for veteran intellectual freedom fighters. The webinar is sponsored by the Freedom to Read Foundation. Learning Outcomes * Learn how a library is defined (limited public forum) and how a library functions differently than a business. * Learn the definition of intellectual freedom and how it plays out in each library department. * Learn privacy basics as well as ALA guidelines and how laws (local, state and federal) protect patron privacy rights. * Understand the importance of policies that help library staff adhere to these guidelines. * Become familiar with the ALA documents that uphold our values of intellectual freedom, privacy and access to information. Cost * FTRF<http://www.ftrf.org/> member: Free * IFRT<http://www.ala.org/ifrt/> member: Free * ALA member: $20 * Non-member: $25 * Groups: $120 Evette M.
