We are delighted to announce that this year’s Division of Libraries Day of Learning (DoL DoL) is scheduled for Tuesday, August 16, and will examine book banning, information access, and censorship--issues core to our work and, disturbingly, the subject of rising challenges around the country. For that reason, I am thrilled to say that our DoL DoL will feature a very special keynote speaker: Emily J. M. Knox, PhD, MSLIS, associate professor in the iSchool at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. Professor Knox is the author of Book Banning in 21st Century America and is currently at work on her next book, Foundations of Intellectual Freedom, forthcoming later this year from the American Library Association. You can read Emily Knox’s bio here. She will be speaking on Zoom so wherever you are on August 16 at 1:00 PM ET, I hope you will attend what promises to be a stimulating, incisive, enlightening talk and a robust Q and A. Please mark your calendars! For those unable to attend, the talk will be recorded.
