Originally Aired on ACB Media

The session explored the definition, history, and growing impact of book banning on access to information. Participants discussed who decided which content was appropriate and how those decisions affected education, libraries, and society. The discussion addressed equity concerns, including disproportionate effects on blind and low vision readers and others facing access barriers. It also examined intellectual freedom and practical advocacy for inclusive, accessible, and diverse collections.
