12:08:06 From Danielle Reynolds to Everyone:
	I believe 2022's final number was 2,571 per ALA
12:08:27 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	If you’re interested, I wrote a blog piece on this topic: https://www.nicheacademy.com/main_blog/dealing-with-books-challenges
12:08:47 From Tony Harris to Everyone:

12:09:26 From Danielle Reynolds to Everyone:
	Here's ALA's press release: https://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2023/03/record-book-bans-2022
12:09:26 From kelley riha to Everyone:
	thanks!
12:10:08 From Nancy Seifts to Host and Panelists:
	Hello fromLake Pleasant, NY
12:10:49 From Brandon Solomon to Everyone:
	Juneteenth is also this month.
12:11:08 From Margo Holmes to Everyone:
	Our board didn't want a Pride display so they aren't approving any displays.
12:11:15 From Chris Scandling to Everyone:
	We just had a challenge earlier this week to our pride display. Not the first year for this to happen.
12:11:16 From DJ Merritt to Everyone:
	Our Pride display last year caused a huge mess.
12:11:34 From Charlie Clery to Everyone:
	We're lucky to have only had one irate patron regarding our display
12:11:35 From Celene Thomas to Everyone:
	Ours too. We did it again this year
12:12:02 From Rebekah Berger to Everyone:
	We haven't had any issues with our Juneteenth or Pride displays.
12:12:13 From Danielle Garity to Everyone:
	Bonners ferry Idaho had to shut down their library do to this and the director had death threats
12:12:17 From Rachel Lorentz to Everyone:
	Neither have we over in Jefferson County in CO
12:12:28 From Andrea Raymer to Everyone:
	DJ Merrit - Us too.
12:12:31 From Miria Webb to Everyone:
	I'm on the verge. We're on our 6th book challenge in 9 months.
12:12:40 From Celene Thomas to Everyone:
	Is Bonners Ferry's library completely gone?
12:12:51 From Rupangi Bakshi to Everyone:
	We here at Aurora IL have no issues so far with Proe month displays and programs!
12:12:59 From Emily Stephan to Everyone:
	We had a vocal minority lose their minds over the Pride displays at our library last year and our library director has been slandered online. It's awful.
12:13:01 From Rachel Lorentz to Everyone:
	This attacks freedom of information
12:13:07 From Madison Hough to Everyone:
	A library in Jonesboro, AR was just recently defunded
12:13:08 From Danielle Garity to Everyone:
	the shut down group couldn't finish the challenge so they were able to reopen
12:13:09 From Danielle Reynolds to Everyone:
	Sending you strength @Miria Webb
12:13:11 From Meredith Bernhardt to Everyone:
	We have a Pride display in our Youth area and a mom informed us she will not return with her children because the display doesn't align with her family's beliefs.
12:13:24 From Alger Newberry to Host and Panelists:
	The Patmos Library in Michigan was defunded by voters because of LGBTQ material
12:13:29 From Rachel Lorentz to Everyone:
	that is her choice
12:13:33 From April Kennedy to Everyone:
	We cannot use Diversity or inclusion in our advertising.
12:13:37 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	Just a reminder to everyone that we will be sharing on the blog the recording, slides, chat transcript, and audio transcript.
12:13:38 From Emily Stephan to Everyone:
	One June 1st, a patron came in taking pictures of everything and complaining the colors in our children's section were too suggestive of rainbows, therefore we MUST be indoctrinating them. I wish I was making this up
12:13:44 From Rachel Glover to Host and Panelists:
	uneducated AND lazy... js
12:13:53 From Dan Moenning to Everyone:
	Moms for Liberty hit list and ready-to-use language.
12:13:54 From Rachel Lorentz to Everyone:
	yikes
12:13:56 From Lucy Dennett to Everyone:
	Kirk Cameron was at our library this week, and we had three church goers challenge Gender Queer. the first objection I've seen.
12:14:02 From Brian James to Host and Panelists:
	We have a six page form patrons must fill out to request a ban...we've had none.
12:14:04 From Dannielle Swart to Everyone:
	We discussed limiting complaints to our service area, to prevent distant organizations from mass-protesting our collection.
12:14:07 From Rachael Waugh to Everyone:
	We just had a father check out most of the books in our YA pride display, and he basically said he wouldn't return them until Pride month was over.
12:14:09 From Adrienne Girard to Everyone:
	I have heard of people showing up with lists of 100 books that they have not read, demanding they be banned.
12:14:20 From DJ Merritt to Everyone:
	There is a hate group that challenges our books online and in person "We the People of West Tennessee."
12:14:27 From Hillary Delaney to Everyone:
	They are organized, but often haven't event read the books they challenge.
12:14:28 From Anna Chenoweth to Everyone:
	There are groups like Moms For Liberty that pass around those blurbs for people to just copy and paste their challenges
12:14:29 From CHRISTOPHER THORN to Everyone:
	A former coworker of mine said his library has a patron who when she finds any LGBTQ+ books she hides them.
12:14:35 From Anton Dounts to Everyone:
	do they also stand outside during a light drizzle and shake their fists at actual rainbows?
12:14:46 From Katie Ward to Everyone:
	Anton lol
12:14:50 From Rachel Lorentz to Everyone:
	hahaha
12:15:01 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	And a reminder that if you have questions for Shannon, please feel free to put it in the Q&A.
12:15:14 From Miria Webb to Everyone:
	Thanks @Danielle Reynolds.
12:15:17 From Rebekah Berger to Everyone:
	Are there lobbyists from organizations that may be sponsored by various corporations that are seeding division around the country?
12:15:17 From Adrianna Finamore to Everyone:
	We've had anti trans stickers left on the covers of books by trans authors and left in our restrooms.
12:15:26 From Laura England-Biggs to Everyone:
	This slide is making me shudder because it mirrors my experience completely
12:15:30 From Rachel Glover to Everyone:
	tiktok
12:15:32 From Judith McCudden to Host and Panelists:
	I am very fortunate to have a library board with council reps on that board who support intellectual freedom. Can I suggest you get it on the agenda and then in the minutes in your library board meetings. Jude- Siglunes library Manitoba
12:15:33 From Lisa Lockheart to Everyone:
	I'm sorry to say, but that activity is encouraged by some small facets of the Catholic Church, with the Hide the Pride campaign.
12:15:48 From Beth Lawry to Everyone:
	https://bookriot.com/kirk-cameron-public-library-events-august-5/
12:15:53 From Anna Stalter to Everyone:
	Some conservative groups have been encouraging their members to "hide the pride" at their local libraries this month.
12:15:54 From Rachel Davis to Everyone:
	We also had a woman come to our library wanting to do "Brave Storytime", which turned out to be a Kirk Cameron-based movement
12:15:59 From Miria Webb to Everyone:
	Same @Laura England.
12:16:04 From Katie Ward to Everyone:
	I love when someone claims we're 'indoctrinating', so okay am I also 'indoctrinating' kids with history? science? math? biographies? like come on, figure your life out
12:16:05 From kelley riha to Everyone:
	Some patrons check out the book in question over and over so no one else can check it out.
12:16:17 From Jen Ohzourk to Host and Panelists:
	I had someone come in with a church newsletter with a list of books that they should ask us about. "Ask" meaning challenge - there was a whole page
12:16:18 From Emily Fox to Everyone:
	this slide is triggering because it's true
12:16:26 From Kevin Denson to Everyone:
	Half the time it's people with no kids or stake in the community doing the complaining
12:16:28 From Lucy Dennett to Everyone:
	@Rachel. Same here.
12:16:32 From Beth Lawry to Everyone:
	Just sent the link about the Kirk Cameron/Brave Books movement.
12:16:32 From Hillary Delaney to Everyone:
	ugh - pro-gun children's books are among the "Brave Storytime" books
12:16:47 From Devera Chandler to Host and Panelists:
	We just revamped our Collection Development Policies. This includes book challenges. Included in the policy is once a book has been challenged, it cannot be challenged again (decision is final.) Also a person has a limited number of challenges and is required to have read the book in order to challenge it.
12:16:52 From Adrienne Girard to Everyone:
	YA lit has had "sexually explicit" content for years.  All of a sudden, some are protesting graphic novels for "sexually explicit" content. That shows me they don't want to take the time to read anything. They only look at the pictures.
12:16:52 From Tony Harris to Everyone:
	@kelley riha Ours just steal them.
12:16:57 From Dan Moenning to Everyone:
	CRT as a term was hijacked.
12:17:06 From Molli Hall to Everyone:
	Most of the time these people have never even picked up the books they are challenging but "SO&SO" said it was evil and needs to be gone.
12:17:48 From Rachel Davis to Everyone:
	The ambush approach bit is painful and true. We had another patron in here last week approach me with a reference question, and then 180 into angrily questioning me about where we kept the children's books about "how to cut off breasts" and "how to have sex"
12:17:53 From Jane Johnson to Everyone:
	These people are willfully, obstinately ignorant.
12:17:59 From Tony Harris to Everyone:
	Can we ever tell these shills to pound sand?
12:18:12 From Savannah Winchell to Everyone:
	It reminds me of 1st Amendment auditors who come in to harass libraries under the guise of caring about rights.
12:18:13 From Doug Bolden to Everyone:
	The benefit to ignoring what words actually mean is it helps you to use them everywhere and all the time
12:18:20 From Hillary Delaney to Everyone:
	The tactics are horrible, but there is a LOT of well-executed pushback on this particular campaign.
12:18:28 From Keri Wilson to Everyone:
	Call anyone that isn't anti trans "groomers", including parents of trans kids
12:19:09 From Adrienne Girard to Everyone:
	Astroturfing! I love it!
12:19:15 From Julie Dahlhauser to Everyone:
	Has any group or person successfully brought obscenity criminal charges to a library after an unsuccessful book challenge?
12:19:18 From Adrienne Girard to Everyone:
	Not the concept. The word.
12:19:58 From Stefanie Davis to Everyone:
	There's Purple Parents
12:20:39 From Laura Eaton to Host and Panelists:
	We allow people to create so much divisiveness in our society by giving them microphones on news media and social media. When they continue to hammer these untruths, people will start to believe them.
12:20:49 From Al Hayden to Everyone:
	@Tony Harris -  A judge in MA just ruled in March that calling someone a "Hitler" is not hate speech/ fighting words and that City Councils, Board Meetings, etc (anything accountable to open meeting laws) can NOT expect civility and that trying to push these people out is against their first amendment right. I don't know about your state, but in MA we are now legally bound NOT to tell them to pound sand. 😒🤬😵‍💫
12:20:51 From Julie Hornick to Everyone:
	Maria Ressa's book, How to Stand Up to a Dictator discusses astroturfing.
12:21:27 From Laura Eaton to Everyone:
	We allow people to create so much divisiveness in our society by giving them microphones on news media and social media. When they continue to hammer these untruths, people will start to believe them.
12:21:52 From Tony Harris to Everyone:
	@Julie Hornick that book's going on my list!
12:22:01 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	Welcome to anyone who has joined us.
12:22:03 From Dorian Combs to Everyone:
	@Julie Dahlhauser I don't know enough about specific instances of this stuff to answer your question, but in West Virginia at least they just tried to create a law that they could then use for that purpose. So instead of finding someone guilty of breaking an existing law, they tried to pass a law that was vague and broad enough they could go after people
12:22:06 From Rebekah Berger to Everyone:
	It seems to me that the organizations that fund these groups are invested in division so that they can distract the populace from what is really going on, and so that the elites can continue to expand their power and control over humanity - intellectually, politically, economically, culturally, etc.
12:22:11 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	I’ll make the following available on our blog in a few days:
12:22:28 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	Chat transcript, recording, slides, audio transcript
12:23:07 From Julie Dahlhauser to Everyone:
	Thank you, Dorian. I don't think there is yet a law in TN that would fit that definition, but you never know.
12:23:12 From Judith McCudden to Host and Panelists:
	Thank you Julie much appreciated  Jude
12:23:17 From Connie Doughty to Host and Panelists:
	@julie, where can i find the blog?
12:23:41 From Julie Hornick to Everyone:
	@Tony Harris, it's an excellent look at the situation created in the Philippines by Duterte, facilitated by the [willful] unregulation of Facebook, and draws clear parallels to what has been happening here in the States.
12:23:41 From Hillary Delaney to Everyone:
	It's important to stress that the rails are off; decorum doesn't exist and there is very real danger from some of these activists.  But, I do think that some of the people who follow this movement are not informed about what they are protesting, they are joining the mob that they identify with most.
12:23:54 From Al Hayden to Everyone:
	@Julie Dalhauser and @DorianCombs - there are currently 31 states that are working on removing librarians and teachers (among other people) from the obscenity laws that protect them. At least 3 have succeeded.....
12:24:32 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	Our blog is here: https://www.nicheacademy.com/blog
12:24:49 From Hillary Delaney to Everyone:
	https://www.everylibrary.org/state_obscenity_laws_23-24
12:24:53 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	Be sure to check out the upcoming webinars - we have two more on intellectual freedom coming up!
12:25:03 From Connie Doughty to Host and Panelists:
	@julie, thank you
12:25:06 From robert rosenthal to Everyone:
	the CIPA cases really limit the idea of free access to information in a library.
12:25:42 From Sara Taylor to Everyone:
	Virtual CP passed the Supreme Court in 2002
12:25:45 From Anton Dounts to Everyone:
	NPR's Throughline just had an excellent episode on that:
	https://www.npr.org/2023/05/24/1177936377/the-freedom-of-speech
12:25:47 From Rachael Waugh to Everyone:
	John Stuart Mill for the win!
12:26:14 From Anna Doyle to Everyone:
	Providing healthcare is apparently harm, according to some of these laws.
12:26:31 From Sara Taylor to Everyone:
	Ashcroft vs. Free Speech Coalition
12:27:42 From Jane Johnson to Everyone:
	I don't think it includes Holocaust deniers.
12:28:00 From Rachel Davis to Everyone:
	I think there's often confusion between freedom of speech re: all points of view should be allowed to be explored and discussed vs. all points of view are equally valid
12:28:07 From Trisha Parsons to Everyone:
	A library should also be a source of trusted information.
12:28:20 From Julie Hornick to Everyone:
	If it's spreading patent falsehoods, are you obligated to provide access?
12:28:30 From Trisha Parsons to Everyone:
	I do not think so, Julie.
12:28:44 From Daniel Kilkelly to Everyone:
	I think the question then becomes who determines what is true and false
12:28:55 From Bryan Nicholls to Host and Panelists:
	We have access to Opposing Viewpoints, which exploires both sides of arguments
12:29:00 From Celene Thomas to Everyone:
	That's a good point Daniel
12:29:04 From Lucy Dennett to Everyone:
	Unfortunately, @Julie, patent faleshoods are in the eye of the beholder.
12:29:04 From Dorian Combs to Everyone:
	It includes anyone who writes a book that the library then buys. We've had people request books specifically just to get them on our shelves. I had a guy request one the other day and he didn't even have a library card. He wanted us to buy the book and get it on our shelves, but he didn't care about reading it.
12:29:06 From Mandy Pethick to Everyone:
	The proliferation of misinformation in published works makes this more challenging than ever
12:29:07 From Lindsay Johnston to Everyone:
	The only access to info that librarians really have control over is in their physical collections. Libraries provide access to the internet, so people can find all points of view.
12:29:10 From Kira Koop to Everyone:
	I think libraries have a responsibility to interpret intellectual freedom for others' understanding as well - we do so through selection policies that specify that we include accurate information, for instance.
12:29:16 From Sutton Skowron to Everyone:
	@Julie -- Maybe not have books on your shelf, but if they can connect to your internet or if you can interlibrary loan something for them, I would say that constitutes access.
12:29:20 From Dannielle Swart to Everyone:
	I'd be uncomfortable presenting "sides" on Climate Change (for example) as if both have equal validity.
12:29:28 From Sabrina Boglioli to Everyone:
	We just had someone complain about our Pride display as I was in this program. It's taking everything in me to remain calm.
12:29:51 From Trisha Parsons to Everyone:
	I think it's less about what is distinctly true or false but what is backed up by vetted sources. What information is as true as it can be through academic rigor.
12:29:59 From Mandy Pethick to Everyone:
	We have a responsibility to provide the most reliable, accurate resources to our residents, and some popular books are the antithesis of that
12:30:12 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	For those of you who are Niche Academy subscribers, we have several tutorials about collection development and a recently published one on Dealing with Complaints and Challenges.
12:30:12 From Rebekah Berger to Everyone:
	Science has become very political. If we are open-minded, we have to realize that many ideas about health, climate, etc. should always be challenged and discussed. I feel we should always be curious and ready to accept new ideas that challenge what we previously believe or believed to be true.
12:30:17 From Sutton Skowron to Everyone:
	@Dorian -- A library card from our library is required to make a purchase request.
12:31:36 From Elliott Walcroft to Everyone:
	I think the post-challenge check in would certainly be important. it can be a very unfair and difficult burden on some staff answering challenges or directing on answering them.
12:31:49 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	For those of you who are interested, we have two more webinars coming up on this topic: https://www.nicheacademy.com/understanding-intellectual-freedom-and-censorship
12:31:51 From Dorian Combs to Everyone:
	@Sutton Skowron it is required at ours too, the point of my story was that someone who didn't use the library wanted to influence what was on its shelves with a specific political book
12:31:54 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	https://www.nicheacademy.com/fighting-for-the-first
12:31:58 From Anton Dounts to Everyone:
	I think Librarians have a responsibility to curate the collections. Afterall, that is why they require Master's degrees. There is something to say about expertise, but I feel like the trust in expert opinions have been on the decline for some time
12:32:09 From Laura England-Biggs to Everyone:
	Very true - don't try to argue content, you won't change their minds and they won't change yours.
12:32:49 From Rachael Waugh to Everyone:
	High Conflict by Amanda Ripley is a great resource for dealing with people and issues that you strongly disagree with. There was a good section about scientific integrity too.
12:32:54 From robert rosenthal to Everyone:
	of course most of the public would use obscenity is its popular or colloquial definition.
12:33:10 From Sutton Skowron to Everyone:
	@Dorian -- Yeah, we get random "recommendations" too.  They get immediately deleted -- LOL
12:33:13 From Celene Thomas to Everyone:
	Using empathy and kindness is very important. Most of these people who are behind the book banning have concerns that fuel them. Protecting the children (which is a huge one for them) is an understandable concern. Whether or not it is valid is not the point. They are concerned about kids
12:33:54 From Katarina Gillis to Everyone:
	What if they “threaten” to tell local schools about your collection or “threaten” to blast you and the library on social media?
12:33:55 From Robert Fitzgerald to Everyone:
	Agreed, Celene.
12:34:02 From Michael Manasco to Everyone:
	Regarding library policy, it's for these reason being discussed that, if you haven't already, now's a good time to create or update a DEI (Diversity, Equality, & Inclusion) Statement for your library to have on hand. In an academic library, I think it's vital to reach out to any DEI offices/personnel in the organization ASAP to at least have everyone on the same page.
12:34:04 From Anton Dounts to Everyone:
	@Celene - that is if they come to you in good faith
12:35:10 From Elliott Walcroft to Everyone:
	I've been glad to see the Biden admin trying to support libraries in the face of book bans.
12:35:11 From Hillary Delaney to Everyone:
	@Katarina, great point, because someone likely will take this approach. It can get personal very quickly.
12:35:30 From Tonya Ryals to Everyone:
	@Katarina - reading that can be really awful. It may be helpful to know what is said so if you have someone who can review for you and give you an overview, I've found that to be helpful.
12:36:16 From Celene Thomas to Everyone:
	@Anton, that's a fair point. Even if they come in angry and yelling, it's still important to remember they're human. The anti-vaxxers (pre-COVID) had concerns that vaccines would harm their kids. Dismissing them or telling them they're wrong doesn't help. Treating them like people, asking them where they heard that information, providing other sides to an argument in a calm and logical manner will help far more.
12:36:49 From Anton Dounts to Everyone:
	Ideally, yes. I agree.
12:36:55 From Elliott Walcroft to Everyone:
	My best friend is a librarian in TX, on her library system's diversity council, and her TLA district representative. The overwhelming level of book challenges they see and general anti-library, anti-lgbt, etc. sentiment is horrifying.
12:37:25 From Rachel Davis to Everyone:
	I honestly feel frustrated because it seems like our library isn't taking this seriously enough. I've heard our director laugh and say we don't have to worry because we live in a blue state
12:37:26 From Robert Fitzgerald to Everyone:
	It seems that challenges are occurring primarily in school libraries where parents are concerned about what their children are exposed to.
12:37:54 From Emily Fox to Everyone:
	@Rachel same! Except I'm in a red state (Indiana)
12:37:58 From Anton Dounts to Everyone:
	If someone calls my staff any of those names they are getting booted
12:37:58 From Dorian Combs to Everyone:
	Also keep the burden of proof on the challenger. Don't do their homework for them. Most of them don't have a real argument.
12:38:05 From Danene Peterson to Everyone:
	attacks to staff are against library policy.
12:38:25 From Trisha Parsons to Everyone:
	that's a really great point, Dorian.
12:38:38 From Judith McCudden to Host and Panelists:
	To Rachel Davis- does your director know about these webinars?
12:38:43 From Laura England-Biggs to Everyone:
	@Robert - our public library has had several challenges to "protect the children." Pretty sure there's a larger organization at work in the background, but no proof.
12:39:02 From Julie Edwards to Judith McCudden, Host and Panelists:
	Judith your question just came to me - you might want to adjust your chat settings.
12:39:04 From Anton Dounts to Everyone:
	@Dorian - Absolutely, ask them to fill out an entire questionnaire with specifics. Let them do the actual reading
12:39:20 From Celene Thomas to Everyone:
	@Laura, it's a very popular concern right now.
12:39:21 From Rachel Davis to Everyone:
	Also, to straight/cis folks: Support your LGBTQ coworkers, because they're probably carrying a lot of this right now whether they're directly dealing with complaints or not
12:39:36 From Anna Stalter to Everyone:
	@Laura, same with our public library
12:39:38 From Danielle Garity to Everyone:
	we had someone threaten library staff's families to try and get us to ban a lot of these items.
12:39:40 From Tony Harris to Everyone:
	@Anton Dounts great idea!
12:39:53 From Charlie Clery to Everyone:
	@Rachel Davis Absolutely
12:40:01 From Anna Doyle to Everyone:
	@Danielle, sounds like an assault charge to meee.
12:40:04 From Dawn Yoakam to Everyone:
	We lost power and wifi due to the storm. Back now🙃
12:40:19 From Alan Robinette to Everyone:
	It is easier to engage those who want to start an actual dialogue. Unfortunately, many would rather have a diatribe. Best not to oblige them.
12:40:20 From Tammy Kruger to Everyone:
	@Robert, many of the challenges are coming from children's collections (including teens, but that's a whole other argument as to what is age appropriate). However, that is an opportunity for parents to TALK to their kids, not try to pull those materials for all kids. Kids who are not exposed to tough conversations turn into ignorant adults.
12:40:28 From Danielle Garity to Everyone:
	@anna yeah he was banned and police report filed
12:41:01 From Judith McCudden to Host and Panelists:
	And the core values of you neighbour-Canada!
12:41:05 From Anna Doyle to Everyone:
	GOOD.
12:41:40 From Anton Dounts to Everyone:
	This is affront to our profession not seen since the Patriot Act, probably
12:42:30 From Rebekah Berger to Everyone:
	I feel as though most people do not realize that the corporate globalist structures are working towards creating a new form of totalitarianism. The media is used to manipulate the consciousness of people, whatever their perspectives, political opinions and affiliations are in order to increasingly restrict our freedoms. The polarization is designed intentionally to restrict physical and intellectual freedoms.
12:42:32 From Dannielle Swart to Everyone:
	Yes!  Illinois's book ban ban!
12:42:32 From Laura England-Biggs to Everyone:
	We're seeing a disconnect with our folks who want to assert their right to control what their children see while refusing to take responsibility for what their children are actually checking out.
12:42:34 From Celene Thomas to Everyone:
	Most of the people who are for the bans are just louder than the majority
12:42:42 From Katie Ward to Everyone:
	banning book bans? I love that!
12:43:07 From Renee Goods-Fisher to Everyone:
	The state of Florida is notorious for book bans!!!!!
12:43:12 From Amanda Diggs to Everyone:
	@Laura England-Biggs Exactly!
12:43:18 From Charlie Clery to Everyone:
	Ban the Ban!
12:43:28 From Dannielle Swart to Everyone:
	By the way - workshop I attended last week had an example of a book ban from 35 BCE
12:43:36 From Tony Harris to Everyone:
	@Rebekah Berger there is no "new form of totalitarianism." Just new spins on the old failed models.
12:43:38 From Anna Doyle to Everyone:
	The IL one is a problem if the people trying to ban things also don't care if the library gets defunded/closed.
12:43:46 From kelley riha to Everyone:
	@Katie Ward  Me, too!
12:44:31 From Emery Lai to Everyone:
	I like telling people I'm a Library Evangelist. lol.
12:44:43 From Danene Peterson to Everyone:
	@Anna Doyle, it's about school libraries. They will lose state funding if they ban books.
12:44:47 From Rebekah Berger to Everyone:
	@TH - Totalitarianism has lots of faces, but most people associate it with a boot in your face Orwellian style. Which is not always the case. As long as the intent is to spread fear and to control, the result is the same...even if the spreader of totalitarian control pretends to be compassionate and inclusive.
12:44:48 From Anton Dounts to Everyone:
	Haha nice
12:44:51 From Sutton Skowron to Everyone:
	@Anna -- most IL libraries are their own taxing districts and not dependent on state or county funds.  Makes a big difference in funding libraries -- nobody can cut our funds but us (and we're not about to do that) :)
12:44:51 From Hillary Delaney to Everyone:
	@Emery - that's great!!
12:44:54 From Robert Fitzgerald to Everyone:
	@Tammy, I am not sure that the "tough conversations" you allude to may necessarily be appropriate to elementary schools students and younger. Kids don't need to be exposed to concepts beyond their comprehension.
12:45:01 From Wanda Huffaker to Host and Panelists:
	We thank them for exercising their right to petition the government. We are killing them with kindness. The appeals to the board  last year were 1/24
12:45:11 From Tonya Ryals to Everyone:
	In browsing the various library-related subreddits, it looks like a few library boards in IL are going to proudly ban books so that they can fully cut themselves off from the 'evil' ALA, to hell with the loss in funds.
12:45:18 From Anna Doyle to Everyone:
	@Sutton, You might not, but there are places who will.
12:45:32 From Devera Chandler to Host and Panelists:
	I often compare the challenges of books to watching TV/Movies. I ask them how they handle these things with their children and relate it to the books. "I see you don't want this for your child, what do you want? We have that here for you, too."
12:45:43 From Hope LaFever to Everyone:
	Thank you
12:45:54 From Julie Hornick to Everyone:
	@Robert, but you cannot decide what is, or isn't, appropriate for everyone's children. Each child is an individual, and each parent should be able to judge what that child is, or is not, ready for.
12:45:55 From Tammy Kruger to Everyone:
	@robert In my state, anyway, kids are considered 17 and below. The concepts the typical 16-year-old can handle is quite different than that of an 8-year-old.
12:45:55 From Christine Connell to Everyone:
	our small public library needs an updated policy. Where can I find some samples so we don't have to build from scratch?
12:45:58 From Lisa Webb to Everyone:
	Thank you.
12:46:01 From Rebekah Berger to Everyone:

12:47:48 From Tammy Gould to Everyone:

12:47:48 From Laurie Needell to Everyone:
	Thank you
12:47:57 From Bryan Nicholls to Host and Panelists:

12:47:57 From Carly Pampuch to Everyone:
	Thanks so much Shannon
12:47:58 From Barbara Keesey to Everyone:
	You are a Hero!  Thank you for your advocacy
12:47:59 From Jennifer Rittenhouse to Everyone:
	This has been great. Thank you for validating our line of work.
12:48:00 From Emily Bryan-Reeder to Everyone:
	We are in a federated county system that shares resources and are considering a policy that would limit book challenges to only residents. Has anyone else done this or considered it?
12:48:07 From Amanda Whaley to Host and Panelists:
	This has been a great presentation. Thank you so much!
12:48:16 From Karen Johnson Slaton to Everyone:
	Thank you!  I missed about 15 minutes due to power outage, so I will be viewing the recording!  This was very helpful.
12:48:17 From Brad Bullis to Everyone:
	Thank you! Great presentation and I look forward to reading your book(s)!
12:48:21 From Celene Thomas to Everyone:
	We make out-of-area residents pay $50 for two years
12:48:42 From Daniel Kilkelly to Everyone:
	We have a policy that limits challenges to those from our tax district, I would make sure it's consistent with statutes though
12:48:47 From Hillary Delaney to Host and Panelists:
	Shannon, I'm also in Kentucky.  Am I correct that KY SB5 does not specifically address public libraries, but does have a focus on classroom and school libraries?
12:49:16 From Lindsay Johnston to Everyone:
	@Emily It's pretty common to limit challenges to those who hold or are eligible to hold a library card at that particular library, i.e. taxpayers in the city/county/etc.
12:49:21 From Anton Dounts to Host and Panelists:
	What about: Asking objectors to formally withdraw their children's right to borrow contested materials?
12:49:34 From Elliott Walcroft to Everyone:
	I've seen people hiding books or flipping them around, removing them from displays, etc. It's not an easy way to direct answer but it can be frustrating.
12:50:03 From Keith Kuric to Everyone:
	Thank you, Shannon! We look forward to the arrival of your book!
12:50:03 From Rachael Waugh to Everyone:
	We had a patron who would hide any books written by conservative authors.
12:50:07 From Judith McCudden to Host and Panelists:
	Reading of professional reviews is a great idea- more info we have as librarians if confronted, the better.
12:50:12 From Laura England-Biggs to Everyone:
	The four R's of censorship: Relocation, Restriction, Redaction, and Removal.
12:50:18 From Jamie Thill to Host and Panelists:
	I have seen libraries move racist material from youth collections to historical collections.
12:52:35 From Matthew Jordan to Host and Panelists:
	Can you talk a bit more about how the first amendment legally addresses not only the freedom of expression, but the freedom of receiving information?
12:53:09 From Dawn Yoakam to Everyone:
	@rachael Waugh We've had Conservative titles turned spine in to hide them. I have to check on them periodically. some of them disappear.  I strive for balance here. Like a teeter totter.
12:53:28 From Rachael Waugh to Everyone:
	Exactly.
12:53:32 From Dorian Combs to Everyone:
	I often feel like a book being available to check out is incorrectly equated to someone reading the book. If no one checks it out or read its, nothing happened except the library wasted some money
12:53:45 From Daniel Kilkelly to Everyone:
	You can always combat a 'bad' book with a 'good' book rather than removing the 'bad' book
12:53:46 From Tony Harris to Everyone:
	Shannon, are you referring to "The Bell Curve" by Richard J. Herrnstein?
12:53:52 From Brandon Solomon to Host and Panelists:
	I don't want to think about this possibility, but it still exists. If this nation were to descend into facism or totalitarianism on a national scale as in the federal government, how can libraries or grassroots methods continue to fight against book bans and the curtailing of intellectual freedom?
12:54:17 From Julie Edwards to Brandon Solomon, Host and Panelists:
	Brandon your question came just to me.
12:54:18 From Anton Dounts to Everyone:
	I feel like people forget that freedom of speech is not the end, it's mere means to the end. Which is ultimately, happiness.
12:54:31 From Shawna Bryce to Everyone:
	If our policy were to never put "bad" books in the library, then there would be much less James Patterson on the shelf. ;)
12:54:44 From Dawn Yoakam to Everyone:
	That's the balance I'm speaking about. Free speech protects all of us even though the winds of public opinion shift through the years
12:54:46 From Barbara Keesey to Everyone:
	Some libraries really only have a choice of moving it or loosing it.
12:54:47 From Emily Fox to Everyone:
	@Shawna LOL
12:54:48 From Wanda Huffaker to Host and Panelists:
	Reclass can be tricky. Our items come labeled - and sometimes go out on the shelves and we don't notice what they are. The review committee has examined them, and discovered they were classed wrong. We give the patron the benefit of an honest review.
12:54:55 From Daniel Kilkelly to Everyone:
	James Patterson books are actually one of the exceptions to the first amendment
12:54:55 From Russell Wise to Everyone:
	One other thought:  Those who would restrict books or materials for children or teens probably don’t realize what their children and teens are secretly seeing every day on the internet and through social media.
12:55:05 From Alan Robinette to Everyone:
	@Shawna, yuppers
12:55:15 From Marion Johnson to Everyone:
	@Shawna STAAAHHPP😂
12:55:18 From Angel Jacoby to Everyone:
	Illinois' new book ban ban - https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/fulltext.asp?Name=103-0100
12:55:22 From Judith McCudden to Host and Panelists:
	RW -so true!
12:55:31 From Danielle Erickson to Everyone:
	@russelwise--SO TRUE!!!!
12:55:32 From E. Patricia Eshun to Everyone:
	Great webinar. Thank you so much Niche Academy and Dr. Shannon Oltmann.
12:55:33 From Emily Bryan-Reeder to Everyone:
	@Tony Harris sounds like the Bell Curve to me too
12:55:50 From Anna Doyle to Everyone:
	@Russell, hopefully true for their kids' sake.
12:56:07 From Tony Harris to Everyone:
	Thank you for the presentation! I have to log off now.
12:56:15 From Matthew Jordan to Host and Panelists:
	Talking points for people who say, "Well, my child can access the (obscene) book in the adult section of the library while in the library, even if they can't check it out. And I should be able to let my child be at the library with being concerned, or follow them around when I am with them." ?
12:56:27 From Sue Beck to Host and Panelists:
	thank you!
12:56:27 From Dawn Yoakam to Everyone:
	parents should parent their children. A library cannot replace a parent. a school cannot replace a parent. My children are "free range" readers, and we talk about what they read!
12:56:51 From Tammy Kruger to Everyone:
	@Dawn Yes!!!
12:56:53 From Michael Parish to Everyone:
	Younger patrons also can be an important voice in countering bans.
12:57:01 From Emery Lai to Everyone:
	Right Dawn? It's all about having open conversation with your child.
12:57:04 From Rupangi Bakshi to Everyone:
	Thank you for the presentation! I have to log off now.
12:57:27 From Robert Fitzgerald to Everyone:
	Shannon, I am totally on board with your free speech belief. One caveat: I do believe that parents should have a say so regarding the younger students among us.
12:57:31 From Barbara Keesey to Everyone:
	sorry meant losing it -not loosing it  :) HA!
12:57:42 From Dawn Yoakam to Everyone:
	How else can we expect our kids to be able to think and discuss complex issues?
12:57:46 From Sarah Taylor-Glaser to Everyone:
	We use Project Outcome to survey programming and events, these standardized surveys can help you gather supporting data from your community about your programming events and access to resources. Check it out! Great for using data to get funding as well.
12:58:01 From Jayne Kieler to Everyone:
	Thank you
12:58:21 From Russell Wise to Everyone:
	Not necessarily.  There is plenty of online content that is far more destructive and inaccurate than what can be found in the library.
12:58:25 From Stefanie Davis to Everyone:
	I had a parent get upset because sometimes his 6 year old comes to the adult side with him, and he didn't want the child to see this romance book. For romance books, it was really tame too.
12:58:38 From Nora Mulligan to Everyone:
	I think parents should absolutely have a say in what their own children read and are exposed to.  I don't think parents should have the right to determine what other parents' children should read and be exposed to.
12:58:49 From Lindsay Johnston to Everyone:
	Amen, Nora
12:58:52 From Sabrina Boglioli to Everyone:
	YES Nora!
12:58:53 From Danielle Erickson to Everyone:
	YES
12:59:03 From Alexandra Schneider to Everyone:
	@Nora, BINGO. That is my mantra.
12:59:03 From Dawn Yoakam to Everyone:
	yes, Nora!
12:59:09 From Bobbie Wrinkle to Everyone:
	agree Nora !
12:59:18 From Rachael Waugh to Everyone:
	Yes, Nora!
12:59:21 From Devera Chandler to Host and Panelists:
	@Nora - yes. Parent YOUR child, not other's children.
12:59:31 From Barbara V-Ratliff to Everyone:
	Thank you!
13:00:22 From Madison Hough to Everyone:
	The TNLA just released a statement for our TN libraries to use in case media comments are involved. "Censorship is wrong. Attacking librarians is wrong. The (Library/Organization name here) fully supports parents making decisions for their own children, but libraries serve everyone in their communities. It is time to trust librarians to do their jobs."
13:00:35 From Russell Wise to Everyone:
	Agreed, Nora.  That is the key point (and includes what I can read also!).
13:00:58 From Lindsay Johnston to Everyone:
	@Madison, that's a fantastic statement
13:01:01 From Sarah Gillie to Everyone:
	Thank you so much!
13:01:04 From Dawn Yoakam to Everyone:
	Thank you, Shannon!
13:01:05 From Charlie Clery to Everyone:
