Banned Books Week webinar: Libraries Preserving Access in Times of Crises
Location: OnlineTo mark Banned Books Week 2025, IFLA Management of Library Associations and IFLA Freedom to Access to Information and Freedom of Expression invite global voices to reflect on the many ways access to information is threatened. From deliberate censorship to the destruction of knowledge during conflict and crisis. This year, speakers will share updates on inspiring library projects that preserve books and cultural memory in Ukraine, Lebanon, and Indigenous communities, highlighting how libraries defend the right to read even in the most challenging circumstances. Because censorship is so 1984 and the freedom to read is more important than ever.
