As libraries in Michigan and around the country grapple with an unprecedented number of book bans and challenges, this event will help orient library trustees to their roles and responsibilities when it comes to material challenges. Attendees will learn about the importance of established library policy, good governance, and more when faced with politically motivated challenges to intellectual freedom. Presenters include Shirley Bruursema, trustee of the Kent District Library and the Lakeland Library Cooperative; Carol Dawe, Director of the Lakeland Library Cooperative; Dillon Geshel, Director of the Superiorland Library Cooperative; Eric Palmer, Director of the Mideastern Michigan Library Cooperative; and Kate Pohjola Andrade, Director of the Woodlands Library Cooperative.
