Intellectual Freedom Teen Panel: Unbanned Books Week

What's your story? Join Brooklyn Public Library's Intellectual Freedom Teen Council (IFTC) for a Books Unbanned panel on intellectual freedom advocacy! Hear from IFTC participants and teen advocates across the country about the impact and implications of book banning, learn more about the importance of civic engagement, explore anti-censorship advocacy strategies, and find out how you can support your peers in fighting for the freedom to read. Our stories both define us and unite us! Let's take action together!
