SUMMARY:Banned Books & Events: From Censorship to Access with Drag Story Hour
DESCRIPTION:In an era where the landscape of censorship is rapidly evolving\, libraries and educational institutions face new challenges in promoting freedom of expression and media literacy.

Experts will discuss the strategies employed to uphold the values of inclusivity and diversity\, the role of libraries as bastions of free thought\, and the impact of media literacy on fostering a more informed and accepting society. \nThis session aims to provide insights and practical approaches for educators\, librarians\, and community organizers to effectively respond to and counteract the challenges posed by modern censorship.
