What is Intellectual Freedom and Why is it Important to a Librarian?
The American Library Association advocates for the rights of library users to "read, seek information, and speak freely as guaranteed by the First Amendment. A publicly supported library provides free and equal access to information for all people of that community. We enjoy this basic right in our democratic society. It is a core value of the library profession."
