Concerned about book banning and all of its implications? Join Smith’s new Dean of Libraries Nancy Kirkpatrick, JD, MS, Kathleen McEvoy, Senior Policy Fellow of The EveryLibrary Institute, and Julia Garnett, class of 2028, to discuss an important recent legal case, Little vs. Llano County.

Stay to write a personal postcard to a legislator about the freedom to read, featuring banned book images from Special Collections!

This event is free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by Special Collections and the Massachusetts Center for the Book.
