Across the U.S., librarians face the impact of uniting against library collection standards that include restrictions on race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. Drawing on historical context, The Librarians explores the broader implications for education and public life.

Her presentation will feature vignettes of some friends and family you may know, whose identities, of course, will be disguised to protect their privacy. Included are many stories about life then and now. The book gives specific tips on how to create a happier, healthier life.
