Fall Author Series: Amanda Jones in partnership with Drake University

Celebrate Banned Books week with Amanda Jones, an American librarian and anti-censorship advocate. Jones has been heavily involved in anti-book-banning movements throughout the US.

Her book, That Librarian, is a powerful look at the nationwide book banning crisis, revealing how extremists target libraries, and how one community’s fight became a rallying cry for intellectual freedom.

This event is hosted in partnership with Drake University and moderated by Sam Helmick, president, American Library Association.
