SUMMARY:Banned Books Week
DESCRIPTION:Join SCARLA and LISSA on October 7th at 6:30 PM EST to celebrate Banned Books Week 2026. Come learn about the current state of book bans in the US and celebrate the freedom to read by sharing a passage from one of your favorite banned books–and/or join to listen to passages shared by others! \nCensorship is no longer creeping into the fabric of our country; it is steamrolling forward. And many of the loudest pro-censorship voices have positions of power within our communities. The data released during National Library Week 2025 shows that “the majority of book censorship attempts are now originating from organized movements. Pressure groups and government entities that include elected officials\, board members\, and administrators initiated 72% of demands to censor books in school and public libraries.” Instead of giving in to these attacks\, ALA annually celebrates Banned Books Week\, which takes place this year from October 4 – 10. \nMeeting information: \nDate: Wednesday\, October 7th\, 2026 \nTime: 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM EST \nLocation: Zoom \nTo attend\, please register for the event here: https://rutgers.zoom.us/meeting/register/Hit-gjyGSTW7Y2laO1F7sA \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

SUMMARY:Talking AI: A Guided Conversation on AI Critique and Refusal in Academic Librarianship
DESCRIPTION:Are you a current or future librarian against AI? Do you want to learn how to advocate for AI refusal in professional environments and job interviews when faced with opposition? Are you curious about finding and creating resources and communities that oppose big tech’s influence on the information environment?
