Event Description
While libraries can vary in size, scope, and communities served, all libraries adhere to a set of overarching principles that include a commitment to equitable access, intellectual freedom, patron privacy and confidentiality, and the free expression of ideas. This session will provide an overview of these guiding principles and include examples of how they present in today's libraries.
