SUMMARY:Americans and the Holocaust: The Library Bill of Rights
DESCRIPTION:Out of the darkness of WWII came a beacon of hope from the American heartland in the form of an inspired Iowa librarian. \n\nIn 1938\, Des Moines Public Library Director Forrest Spaulding watched as Nazi Germany's book bans and burnings opened the door for the genocide of millions. In an attempt to ensure no such thing would happen in his community\, he wrote a document that would go on to impact libraries across the world. Join Burlington Public Library Director Brittany Jacobs for the telling of this incredible story - along with recent attempts to ban\, burn\, and censor books right here in Iowa.This event is free and open to all.For more information\, follow Burlington Public Library on Facebook or visit:burlington.lib.ia.us
