In Conversation with That Librarian In-Person
The WashU Libraries, St. Louis University Libraries, and St. Louis City Libraries invite you to a panel discussion examining the rise in book bans in recent years, and the implications for libraries, librarians, and intellectual freedom.
Our Panel
Central to our discussion will be Amanda Jones and her recently published book, That Librarian, which maps the book banning crisis across the country, draws the battle lines in the war against equity and inclusion, and calls on book lovers everywhere to rise in defense of readers. Joining Amanda for this discussion, and bringing a local perspective, will be Tom Bober, who has served as President of the Missouri Association of School Librarians, and Jennifer Buehler, an associate professor in the School of Education at St. Louis University, where she mentors future high school English teachers.
