Shaena and Jenna discuss the slippery slope of censorship in public libraries. Prompted by recent headlines (Dr. Seuss, Halifax Public Library etc.), the conversation explores the tension between standing up for what's right and protecting freedom of speech. On the Reading Break (17:10-24:25), Shaena talks about Act Your Age Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert, and Jenna talks about The Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo. Censorship is a complex topic, and this conversation just scratches the surface. Share your thoughts on social media using #librarylifepodcast
