Program Description

Event Details

Amanda Jones is an American librarian and anti-censorship advocate. Jones has been heavily involved in anti-book-banning movements throughout the US. Her book, That Librarian, is a powerful look at the nationwide book banning crisis, revealing how extremists target libraries, and how one community’s fight became a rallying cry for intellectual freedom. This program will be moderated by Sam Helmick, president, American Library Association.

Please note: This event is free and open to the public. Drake University asks if you are interested, you register in advance to help them estimate an audience size. Registration is not required to attend, but it is encouraged. You may also get a free parking pass by registering in advance.
