Be Prepared! The Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table (NCRT) Guide to Addressing Comic Book Bans, Censorship, and Challenges

In the last few years schools and libraries have experienced some of the highest number of bans to comics since the 1950s. To meet this challenge, GNCRT's newest committee has created a Toolkit on Preparing For & Addressing Comic Book Bans, Censorship, and Challenges in Libraries. During this webinar, Committee members Amie Wright, Julia Lanter, Gabriel Lopez, and Ryan Grant will participate in a lively discussion, moderated by GNCRT President-Elect, Robin Brenner, presenting their Toolkit and findings from their recent survey of 100+ schools and libraries on comics censorship. 

Discussions will also focus on how to create effective collection development and challenge policies and how we can better advocate for our communities as well as a prevalence of 'soft censorship' and how to prepare for and address this. 

Register now for this free, one-hour Booklist webinar on Thursday, July 21 at 2 p.m. ET
