Abstract
On the heels of Canada’s Freedom to Read Week (February 24 to March 2), Professor and 3M National Teaching Fellow Toni Samek will share aspects of her scholarship in librarianship and human rights. Life, liberty and the law come into sharp focus as Toni provides compelling contemporary examples of how and why librarians are speaking up about addressing the critical problems of society. From the CBC Radio Canada Human Library partnership to the Canadian Library Association’s participation in copyright reform in the digital age, there’s a wave of library noisemaking hitting the airwaves. Toni helps us tune in and listen to that new library sound.
