Freedom To Read _TRU Library & TNRD
On Tuesday, February 27th the TNRD Library System and TRU Library will host a panel discussion in celebration of Freedom to Read Week.
Freedom to Read Week celebrates and supports authors and readers by encouraging all Canadians to think about intellectual freedom. Intellectual freedom is the right to read, view, hear, express, and discuss any idea on any subject.
To guide our discussion, we want to hear your thoughts on intellectual freedom, book banning and censorship. Find our feedback form here:
