Vickery Bowles, City Librarian at Toronto Public Library in conversation with Sarah Fulford, Editor in Chief, Maclean’s
Join us as we host Toronto Public Library’s City Librarian, Vickery Bowles, to discuss three important questions and speak about the Library’s critical role in the health and vibrancy of our democratic society.
-
What’s at stake when voices are silenced, civil discourse erodes, and access to information is narrowed?
-
How are challenges to intellectual freedom shaping and impacting our way of life?
-
How can we protect free thought and ideas?
Libraries are on the front lines of defending and preserving our core democratic principle and are facing increasing intellectual freedom challenges on a wide range of issues. Not just physical materials like books and movies, but also with programs, e-content, Internet access, room bookings and exhibits.
Please join us for this timely and topical conversation hosted in partnership with the Toronto Public Library Foundation, and learn about how you can get involved.
