Written by a well-known intellectual freedom advocate, this book is
a one-stop source for school librarians on intellectual freedom and
privacy issues that blends principles with best practices. In order
to sort out fact from fiction and become effective, critically
thinking adults in a global society, children need access to
diverse points of view from authoritative sources in their school
libraries. This book provides school librarians with easy-to-read
guidance on specific aspects of intellectual freedom and privacy,
explaining how the core values of the library profession translate
into everyday practice. The readings supply current information and

other special needs students; challenges to school library
materials; filtering issues; and advocacy for intellectual freedom.

examining the topic and concludes with a "key ideas" summary; a
list of annotated resources to lead the reader to more information
on the individual column topics; and discussion questions. The

Rights and the Code of Ethics as well as an annotated list of
pro-First Amendment and privacy protecting organizations with
contact information. Presents practical guidance on important
