Justice and Equality Action Group presents:
Your Right to Read: The Impact of Book Banning
Tuesday, October 3 – 7:30pm
In Worship Hall and Livestreamed on YouTube
Attempts to challenge or ban books in US school and public libraries have started to happen in Canada as well. These actions strike at the heart of having an informed citizenry, which is essential for a functioning democracy.
Join moderator Justine de Jaegher, and panelists Sonia Bebbington (Ottawa Public Library) and Mick O’Leary (Frederick Community College) for a discussion of the current situation in Canada and the US and steps that have been, and can be, taken to reduce the damage that can be caused by book-banning attempts.
