Penguin Random House Intellectual Freedom Task Force and New Yorkers for Better Libraries PAC cordially invites you to an evening dedicated to protecting the freedom to read in New York. While New York has long been a leader in upholding intellectual freedom, emerging book banning efforts remind us that these protections cannot be taken for granted. Our public libraries and schools must continue to serve as spaces where all readers have access to the full range of ideas and stories.
