Greetings Colleagues, We are introducing an initiative entitled "In My Library" to engage library deans and directors about activities in their libraries. Hearing from you is helpful and will provide insight, ideas, and guidance to other library directors. This month's topic is banned books. Banned Books Week<http://bannedbooksweek.org/>, scheduled October 1st - 7th, 2023, is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. This year's theme is "Let Freedom Read!" Follow this link: Banned Books Week Survey<https://forms.office.com/r/0sw0zLLtyC> for a 2-question survey about Banned Books Week in your library. The link will be available until Friday, October 13. Responses will be compiled and shared with the membership later in October. Get ready for a wealth of new and exciting themes reflecting library programming calendars and other field-wide initiatives in our upcoming "In My Library" messages. Stay Tuned!
