It's Banned Books Week... what banned books have you read?

This year our conference is fully virtual and asynchronous, so it will remain available for viewing and discussion throughout the end of the semester. Instead of a keynote speaker, we opted to present two interviews with UK MSLS alums and current library professionals, Bailey Eagin and Kat Gillespie. We also are proud to present original student presentations from Caitlin Hemphill and Patsy Carruthers.

Feel free to get creative! The deadline to submit your presentation will be midnight on April 19th. If you're interested, please submit your proposal to present as soon as possible. You will only be able to submit a presentation after your proposal has been submitted.
