Congressional Research Employees Association

On Monday, April 19, CREA is sponsoring a lunchtime discussion with Dr. Barbara Jones, the American Library Association’s Director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom. Dr. Jones will be speaking about censorship, planning and policy making, technology and privacy concerns, and the globalization of intellectual freedom issues in the 21st Century.

Intellectual freedom is one of the guarantees of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and librarians, as keepers and guardians of information, are trusted with making sure that patrons’ rights to intellectual freedom are secure. Please join CREA and Dr. Jones for this interesting talk.

The discussion will be held in the Mary Pickford Theater, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. Refreshments will be served after the discussion.
