Lucy Podmore writes: “My community supports the school library, and students are active library users, but the public has limited knowledge about how we choose books and select programming to make the library a place students want to be. So in 2023, I created the Freedom Walk, an interactive program that explores the ideas behind our freedom to read and the critical role students and the public can play in protecting that freedom. Instead of celebrating what we can’t read, we celebrate our right to read.”
