09:16:56 From Alini Garcia To All Panelists : Please inform me here when to launch polls, thank you! 09:20:57 From Michael Achille To All Panelists : How do you effectively draw a distinction between book banning and preventing the spread of misinformation? Especially when organizations and groups are drawing false equivalencies? 09:22:47 From Georgette Kenney To Michael Achille and All Panelists : Hi Michael. Thank you for your question. Could you please post it in the Q&A so we can answer it live 09:26:58 From Rebekah Vaught To All Panelists : A big part of today's censorship crisis seems to be a severe lack of respect for teachers, librarians, and other educational professionals. 09:29:28 From Emily Bergman : I went to high school near Highland Park graduating in 1971; I'm so surprised what's happened in HP...not the reputation of the city. I did have 1984 pulled from an 8th grade advanced English class by a parent in Lubbock, TX. 09:30:59 From Christine Kuffel : In your experiences, did any of the people complaining about book content acknowledge that their children have access to all sorts of similar content online??? 09:31:36 From Sonnet Ireland : In our area, Christine, their argument is that they can't control the internet, but they can control the library. Sigh 09:32:39 From Sheri Doniger : Please discuss the "playbook" for our side. Thank you. 09:32:57 From Christine Kuffel : That makes me wonder how much of this is fueled by people feeling a lack of control in their personal lives... so they try to control what they can to feel better? 09:34:11 From Sonnet Ireland : Good point. Though some of them are organized. We have a group in our state who has admitted their goal is to defund all the public libraries in Louisiana 09:34:27 From Sarah Thompson To All Panelists : Organized group has been phoning public libraries in Arkansas with specific questions. ArLibAssoc is providing librarians with consistent ways to respond to these calls. 09:35:13 From Eti Berland : Such excellent advice here! Just want to recommend resources from the Graphic Novels & Comics Roundtable - we know comics/gn/picture books are overrepresented in challenges (including historically) - they’ve created a toolkit to Preparing For and Addressing Challenges to Comics 09:35:25 From Michael Heyd : The book banners are actively infiltrating boards. 09:35:57 From Christine Kuffel : We just started looking at ours last week... 09:36:07 From Amanda Antonacci : I've been on the reconsideration committee for a month, and reviewed four titles. 09:36:16 From Amanda Antonacci : It's exhausting. 09:36:33 From Lance McGrath : No book bans at my library - but my library is at a private college. Book bans are rampant in my community. 09:37:06 From Lisa Hathaway To All Panelists : Are there examples of policies that could be shared? 09:37:11 From Paula McGraw To All Panelists : Do you have examples of appropriate collection policies that mention the 1st amendment? 09:37:18 From Sarah Rosenblum : We have the opposite issue happening. A wants us to add the NRA Journal and the Epoch Times newspaper. We took a serious look at both items and decided neither fit our Collection Policy. Board voted no and he won't give up. Coming back to 4th monthly meeting in a row. 09:38:02 From Tasslyn Magnusson To All Panelists : Do I take the poll down or ? 09:38:05 From Elizabeth Flores : Would it be possible to get a written copy of all the steps Gina shared? Such good information, but write fast enough! 09:38:11 From Maura MBLC : @Sarah- I work at our state library agency in MA and I think that is going to be the next wave. Collection bias for adult non-fiction. 09:38:27 From Christine Kuffel : Sonnet - sorry to hear that. Really, sorry to hear that. 09:38:32 From Lisa Hathaway : Are there policies that can be shared that are good examples that can guide public libraries? 09:38:40 From Amanda Antonacci : We're seeing collection bias in adult nonfic in the public library now, so I'm sure it's coming for academic libs. 09:38:52 From Gina Millsap : I’ll be happy to provide my list in writing with the resources Bibliotheca will provide after this webinar. 09:39:01 From Barbara Klinck To All Panelists : I am in a 6-8 middle school Library . Have had two 6th grade student return books as the language makde them uncomfortable 09:39:12 From Axel Gerber To All Panelists : Yes please! 09:39:16 From Eti Berland : Book Riot’s Reporting from Kelly Jensen has been an essential resource for all of our toolkits - including this post about evaluating your collection policy https://bookriot.com/book-censorship-news-may-6-2022/ 09:39:22 From Nancy Wendt To All Panelists : That would be great, Gina Millsap...thank you! 09:39:25 From Sarah Thompson To All Panelists : AND make sure that your school superintendents, board members, and building administrators KNOW THAT THERE IS A POLICY. 09:39:49 From Paula McGraw To All Panelists : If you're going to cite freedom of speech, then you should not prevent conservative media from your collection either. Epoch Times is a prime example. This goes both ways. 09:39:58 From Dominic Ricobene To All Panelists : Florida is what makes me the most nervous as its not a patron group, but the government itself going after libraries 09:40:06 From Maura MBLC : I have some sample policies to share from Mass: https://guides.mblc.state.ma.us/c.php?g=1289952&p=9473201 09:40:13 From Jana Hausburg : It would be interesting to know what the geographical breakdown is for those challenges. 09:40:42 From Sheri Doniger : Gina, thank you 09:40:42 From Tina : We've had complaints that all the items on the new book shelves are liberal. Yes, because all the conservative ones are checked out! 09:40:51 From Kelly : Thank you, Gina. I'd love to see that. 09:41:00 From liz wise : We had a challenge regarding sex ed book in juv nonfictino 09:41:00 From Elizabeth Flores : Thanks, Gina! 09:41:11 From Josephine Tucci : Libraries should also be prepared for an increase in FOIA requests related to book challenges - we have had over 22 in the past 8 months. 09:41:15 From Michael Achille : We had challenges at several libraries in my network to Gender Queer and whether it should be in YA or adult 09:41:26 From Heather Wilder : We had several complaints about the Heartstopper series. 09:41:26 From Michael Achille : During the last year 09:41:34 From Christine Kuffel : I read an excellent article the other day, and they talked about the importance of having solid relationships with others in the community before issues even arise - park district board, mayor, city officials, etc. 09:41:34 From Larra Clark : Also: https://www.ala.org/tools/challengesupport/selectionpolicytoolkit 09:41:41 From Amanda Garza : Of Mice and Men and the Martian Chronicles for the language during this past month in our school district 09:41:43 From Amanda Antonacci : The Rainbow Parade (Emily Neilson) (Picture Book) It Feels Good to Be Yourself (Theresa Thorn) (juv nonfic) 09:41:44 From Kathy Thompson : Beyond Magenta -- said book was pornography 09:41:46 From liz wise : Two parents, not organnized but thought book should be in a restricted access section 09:41:46 From Elizabeth Flores : Yes, sex content and lgbtq content in all teen books 09:41:47 From Sarah Rosenblum : I have also had threats of FOIA requests relating to a book challenge. 09:41:47 From Jessica Framson : We've had three in the last year. One was a children's book with drag queens in it. Two were adult nonfiction that the patron disagreed with. 09:41:49 From Rebecca O'Connor : Someone recently challenged Sex is a Funny Word by Cory Silverberg at a library in our consortium. 09:41:49 From Shannon Meyer To All Panelists : Ours was a K-2 book about racecars that someone challenged because they said their white child felt that it suggested they were a bad person for being white 09:41:52 From Winona Patterson : The Bluest Eye was recently removed in all Pinellas County (FL) schools, where my public library is. We purchased 6 more copies of it. 09:41:59 From Manny Leite : We had 13 challenges in December 2022. Books include: Gender Queer, Crank, Blankets, Me Earl and the Dying Girl 09:42:01 From Jana Hausburg : A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo, by Jill Twiss -- this was a challenge from an individual parent, not an organized challenge. 09:42:05 From Beth Hindman : We recently had a challenge on a juvenile nonfiction book about gender...specifically the gender journey. 09:42:05 From Jonathan Friedman To Lance McGrath and All Panelists : Hi Lance! 09:42:12 From Hugh Alderson : Challenge to LGBTQ+ board book. "The GayBCs" Just last month! 09:42:16 From Caitlin Staples To All Panelists : We are in Central MA and have challenges mostly about our Teen LGTBQ books (graphic novels too) Also, one for The Antifa Comic Book 09:42:16 From Sharon Ellingwood : Our local school library book challenge was over 3 books: How to Be Ace, A Quick & Easy Guide To Queer & Trans Identities, and Heather Has Two Mommies. 09:42:17 From Lesa Holstine : Ours was this month - A complaint about True You: A Gender Journey by Gwen Agna. Wanted to remove it from the library. It was an individual. The book was retained. 09:42:19 From Sonnet Ireland : In my parish (what we call counties in Louisiana), we have dozens upon dozens. We had 30+ in one day, so it's clear they are just using lists to file complaints. Many of the books are ebooks… almost all are adult books... and some aren't even owned by the library. 09:42:20 From Matthew Noe : I dunno. Someone who thinks trans people existing is a crime might actually be my enemy. 09:42:22 From Eti Berland : The student speakers speaking about ensuring access to The Bluest Eye were incredible - look to the young people! 09:42:27 From Katie Dailey : A FOIA request to see if any of the following material is being used in the classrooms. Not a library challenge. 09:42:31 From Katie Dailey : “Born on the Water” by Nikole Hannah-Jones, Renee Watson, and Nikkolas Smith “The Battle Cry of Freedom” by James McPherson “February 12, 1946” by Jacqueline Woodson “The Idea of America” by Nikole Hannah-Jones “Ghost Boys” by Jewell Parker Rhodes “Jim Crow Laws-Kids” Encyclopedia Britannica “Travon Martin Case Provokes Justice and Race Debate” PBS Newshour Extra 09:42:46 From Sarah Thompson To All Panelists : Anything dealing with sexual health education in previous years. Now more focus is on LGBTQ content. 09:43:00 From Rebekah Vaught : What anyone finds appropriate or obscene is very subjective most of the time. A diverse library is realistically going to have things you don't agree with, but that doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way. Nobody is forcing your child to read anything you don't approve of, and as librarians, we are not trying to hide anything from our communities. 09:43:01 From Sarah Thompson To All Panelists : It’s Perfectly Normal by Robie Harris 09:43:01 From Lynn Wolf To All Panelists : One of the most cited books in North Dakota discussions is Let's Talk About It. 09:43:06 From Amanda Rude : Our local high school board recently had several members elected who all go to the same mega church. They have already gone to our office of curriculum and are looking at all the courses of study and our school library inventories. Their members have started calling our librarians Groomers by name. 09:43:07 From Manny Leite : LGBTQ+ and BIPOC materials is what the our challenges have been on. 09:43:10 From Sarah Thompson To All Panelists : And Tango Makes Two 09:43:11 From Dominic Ricobene To All Panelists : Graphic novels having mature scenes have been getting challenged a lot. Even when the graphic novel is in the adult section. A lot of parents have the idea comic=kids 09:43:11 From Amanda Antonacci : Pink, Blue, and You (Elise Gravel) (juv nonfic) 09:43:16 From Priscilla Moreno : In El Paso, a school district had "Gender Queer" challenged but the parents failed to have it removed. 09:43:21 From Christine Kuffel : Elmhurst Public Library in Illinois has a virtual program on FOIA this evening... 09:43:23 From Michaela Schaff : What is "Foya"? 09:43:31 From Stephanie Roff : All Boys Aren't Blue was challenged plus we had someone object to the LGBTQIA+ flags being displayed in the children's area 09:43:31 From Chasity Taylor : I just started with a new library, but at my previous library, we had an entire board meeting debating John Green's "Looking For Alaska" which had been in our collection for 15 years without issue. But they got it pulled from the collection at the high school, so they came for the copy at the public library as well. 09:43:32 From Nancy Wendt To All Panelists : Freedom of Information Act 09:43:35 From Michaela Schaff : "Foia"? 09:43:35 From Sonnet Ireland : Freedom of information act FOIA 09:43:38 From Christine Walsh : Freedom of Information Act = FPI 09:43:40 From Maura MBLC : Freedom Of Information Act or Public Records requests 09:43:42 From Michael Heyd : Freedom of Information Act 09:43:48 From Michaela Schaff : Thank you! 09:43:53 From Sheri Doniger : Christine, will you send the link? 09:44:20 From Linda Schuller : Will the Chat questions and books titles be shared after the session? 09:44:27 From Maura MBLC : It's important for public libraries to know about state level laws about public records. There is a required process and timeline that must be followed, and fees can be charged for staff time to collect the information. 09:44:37 From liz wise : Outcome was that we thought book was probably a more advanced level of sex ed for a juveniles, so we moved to YA but then realized that our juv sex ed topic was missing good books for that age group so we ordered 4-5 books that were more age appropriate. End result more sex ed books for all age groups. 09:44:59 From Georgette Kenney To Linda Schuller and All Panelists : Yes the chat will be shared after the webinar 09:45:10 From liz wise : probably not the outcome they were expecting but so far no further complaints 09:45:29 From Eti Berland : It’s also worth noting the research about soft censorship/quiet bans where books do not even get purchased - so as Jonathan said, it can’t even be counted 09:45:37 From Maura MBLC : Connecting with a town clerk or assigned public records officer can help provide more information on that the legal requirements are for complying with FOIA or public records requests. 09:45:51 From Josephine Tucci : Many of our FOIA requests are from opposing political parties checking up on each other through the library. They want all correspondence between the library and specific people in the community, some of them running for the library board in April. 09:45:54 From Catherine Miller : Read an article recently out of Colorado about releasing the would-be book-banner's name as part of a FOIA request: https://coloradofoic.org/people-who-want-to-ban-books-arent-anonymous-library-users-says-library-districts-appellate-brief/ I'm curious if names are normally included? Based in MA, if that makes a difference 09:45:54 From Rebekah Vaught : How come people won't accept that critical race theory is only taught in law schools? It's a proven fact. 09:45:55 From Ray Hood : Curious that The Battle Cry of Freedom was a banned book 09:46:02 From Janet Nygaard To All Panelists : I took a webinar recently titled Democracy and Christianity. Two things jumped out foe me. Jefferson and the founding fathers wrote about Amendments 1-13 using the words responsibility and for the common good. This at the risk of starting false narratives since I haven’t read Jeffersons and founding fathers writings about the Amendments. My belief is most people talk about their interpretation of an Amendment rather than the individual’s responsibility which comes along with each Amendment and considering the common good of the UNITED States of America. Let me be clear: I’m against banning books. Thank you for today 09:46:40 From Maura MBLC : @Catherine Miller- researching that now in MA! 09:46:46 From Matthew Noe : You shouldn't keep that information in the first place. 09:46:46 From Kathy Thompson : Is a library catalog considered public information SO that someone can be pointed to that for a FOIA request? 09:46:50 From Josephine Tucci : You can redact names only under specific situations. Usually you do not redact names. 09:47:20 From Catherine Miller : @Maura you're the best! 09:47:47 From Sonnet Ireland : My local library (not where I work) has had requests for emails... which they then started publishing on their FB page accusing the director of being in cahoots with ALA. 09:47:51 From Amanda Antonacci : That first question is tricky 09:47:56 From Ron Titus To All Panelists : I am in charge of a Banned book website and I get contacted by student doing papers on book banning and also of late people from various parts of the country who have questions. I try to always be polite, calm, and provide information to answer their concerns while letting folks know my stance on the issues. 09:48:17 From Kathy Hecht : No to #1, but you don't have a choice 09:48:32 From Christine Walsh : Some employment NDAs cover not discussing library policy publicly--that last question falls under that category, so I'm guessing it's going to be underreported 09:49:02 From Amanda Antonacci : @Kathy - right? No formal training from my admin, but I work regularly with my branch staff to talk about how to deal with folks when they come in hot about books 09:49:35 From Lisa Lynn To All Panelists : Two years ago, the book Of Mice and Men was part of the curriculum and then we had a complaint so our school board took it out of the currculum. 09:49:49 From Christine Kuffel : https://elmhurstpubliclibrary.evanced.info/signup/EventDetails?EventId=42691&backTo=Calendar&startDate=2023/02/01 09:50:06 From Holly Williams : I had a FOIA request but it had nothing to do with my library. I've been speaking out against books trying to be banned in my son's high school library. A man who is known for being a conservative and runs a podcast, ran the request once I spoke out. 09:50:09 From Christine Kuffel : That's the link to the FOIA session at Elmhurst this evening. 09:50:33 From Lance McGrath : The challenges and proposed legislation in Idaho target books by or about people in the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. 09:50:35 From Monica Dombrowski : No 09:50:48 From Lance McGrath : Readers don't ban books 09:50:52 From Paula McGraw To All Panelists : Because we didn't make a big deal about all the new LGBTQ books, those books never stirred the community. We just quietly put them on the shelves, and don't push them on folks. 09:50:55 From Nicole Jastrzebski To All Panelists : Usually not even regular library users 09:50:55 From Jennifer Stanley : No, they're not. 09:51:36 From Monica Dombrowski : OMG 09:51:44 From Sonnet Ireland : I love how they don't seem to see the problem there 09:51:50 From Amanda Antonacci : Of the four reconsideration forms I've been in the last 30 days, 50% of the opposing individuals have admitted that they did not read the book on the form. 09:51:54 From Carrie King To All Panelists : My library director and the entire board of trustees except 1 resigned following a drag queen story hour censorship challenge. I have since been bombarded with FOIA requests following this Trustee action to pressure staff to cancel the program. But the trustees who pressured my director and me, the youth librarian to censor the #DQSH program, refused to fill out the Request for Reconsideration so staff can follow the collections policy and censorship request procedure. Bans also done thru this social and public pressure that is extremely difficult to manage professionally when they won’t fill out the form! 09:51:57 From Maura MBLC : How can we check if they read the book or not? Quiz them- it's easy to lie. 09:52:04 From Jana Hausburg : We have a well-read customer who this morning complained about how many books we have on our shelves that include "gay" themes. He also complained that we are buying too many Sci Fi and fantasy books by women writers. 09:52:13 From Amanda Antonacci : The form asks explicitly - "Did you read the book in it's entirety?" 09:52:18 From Sarah Thompson To All Panelists : EVERY individual item should be evaluated ON ITS OWN MERIT. NO GROUPS OR LISTS 09:52:21 From Maura MBLC : @Amanda- do you reject the request then? 09:52:23 From Sarah Rosenblum : Will this session be available to view later? I would like to show to staff and board. Thanks 09:52:27 From Sharon Hawkes : The difference is that the default used to be that the librarian was right. Now the default is that librarians are wrong, even evil. 09:52:39 From Maura MBLC : I would love to learn more about how happens next when someone says NO, i haven't read the book. 09:52:46 From Aly Henderson : MILLER TEST! 09:52:52 From Catherine Miller : Interestingly, many of our would-be book banners are very well-read. But ONLY "classics" (usually children's-level classics). 09:52:55 From Amanda Antonacci : @Maura - the form is only rejected if the contact info is incomplete. If the form is filled out completely, then the complaint is considered. I wish it wasn't. 09:53:12 From Christine Kuffel : Has anyone tried banning something from the Library of Congress? 09:53:18 From Amanda Rude : They know their narrow thinking has already lost the youth and they are desperate to regain some measure of control. 09:53:20 From Maura MBLC : Thanks @Amanda. 09:53:29 From Jonathan Friedman : not to my knowledge re Lib of Congress 09:53:34 From Larra Clark : <3 Forever! 09:53:41 From kkroll : On our form it says the book will not be considered for review unless the person has read it. 09:53:42 From kimberlee Patton To All Panelists : Jana— “oh no! Women writing SF/F books! Not that!” Writers gonna write. 09:53:50 From Sonnet Ireland : Our policy states they have to have read the books for us to consider the complaint. They also have to be a parish resident. Of course, they can just lie about reading it, but at least it sets a standard 09:54:21 From Ron Titus To All Panelists : My wife started reading the Harry Potter series because she wanted to know why they were being banned. She enjoyed the series. 09:54:33 From Nathan : "Public Libraries don't make good [parents]!" Yes! 09:54:37 From Maura MBLC : Yes @Gina! Appeal to their interest in the library collection and being a hands on parent! 09:54:41 From ellen mctyre : I had a local public high school in Westchester County NY scrap a whole Summer Required Reading List because 1 parent took excerpts from every book and made a huge stink at the school. 09:54:48 From Michelle Beechey : I just Googled "moms for liberty book banning". Wow- they are scary. 09:55:18 From ellen mctyre : Basically, the Teens got word of this and every book on the list was in high demand by the kids. 09:55:44 From Christine Kuffel : I'm sad for the children of these people. Being a kid is difficult enough - and then to have your parent(s) being the one(s) trying to ban book... 09:56:10 From Sarah Rosenblum : Hope it is ok to say there is a Facebook group: Stop Moms for Liberty. I think it is an ok group. 09:56:11 From Natasha Grando : Thanks for the great presentation! Sorry, I have to leave for another meeting. 09:56:29 From Amanda Antonacci : @Ellen - basically it's a great way to ensure teens will read the books. Now they're forbidden! 09:56:35 From Eti Berland : Highly recommend looking to Every Library as a resource. Most people oppose book banning. Every Library works with communities to protect the right to read, too. https://www.everylibraryinstitute.org/bookbanpoll 09:56:39 From Amanda Antonacci : That's why I read VC Andrews. She was forbidden by my parents! 09:57:16 From Linda Schuller : We need to stay very aware of Moms for Liberty! Red, Wine and Blue is a great group to explore and support for their programs on how to fight the banners at town meetings, etc. Great support and information, and programs by authors who have been banned such as the author of Heather Has Two Mommies. 09:57:22 From Christine Kuffel : What happened to separation of church and state??? 09:57:26 From Larra Clark : also: https://uniteagainstbookbans.org/toolkit/ 09:57:45 From Maura MBLC : United for Libraries does a lot of great support for boards of trustees when it comes to policy review, training and advocacy. 09:57:53 From Caroline Blevins : Thanks for all the links! 09:58:14 From Sarah Rosenblum : Gina, don't know if you are aware but Pella, IA Library is facing an election to strip them of their governing board due to book challenges. 09:58:21 From Eti Berland : Here’s the link to the GNCRT toolkit to prepare for challenges: https://www.ala.org/rt/gncrt/preparing-and-addressing-challenges-comics-library-committee#:~:text=In%20February%202022%2C%20GNCRT%20launched,and%20graphic%20novels%20in%20libraries 09:58:22 From Axel Gerber : Thank you for sharing your resources! 💗 09:58:25 From Gail Davidson : I have to go, too, but I just wanted to say that this was a great resource! I'm actually a minister, with lots of experience working in libraries through college and grad school and a mom who is a librarian. I've read "Gender Queer," "Lawn Boy," "Forever," "Bluest Eye," etc., etc., and I am totally on board for encouraging kids to read -- and providing all kinds of materials. So don't give up on the church. I read 300 books a year and won't quit! 09:58:32 From Paula McGraw To All Panelists : With all the book banning/censorship, does anyone else see parallels with social media censorship? The 1st amendment is getting attacked all around. 09:58:36 From Sarah Thompson To All Panelists : Jonesboro AR voters approved a millage REDUCTION , CUT TO LIBRARY FUNDING. Nov. 2022 09:58:39 From Jonathan Friedman : Sign up for our newsletter! https://pen.org/issue/educational-censorship/ 09:59:17 From Jonathan Friedman : League City 09:59:21 From Kayla Smith : I am! 09:59:25 From Kayla Smith : It's horrible. 09:59:27 From John Parris : Great Discussion, thanks! 09:59:41 From Maura MBLC : This has been wonderful, and the chat has been incredible! 09:59:47 From Ray Hood : Kayla what’s going on in League City? 09:59:49 From Emily Bergman : My son lives there. I guess I should look into it. I live in Los Angeles. 09:59:59 From Nancy Wendt To All Panelists : Can we get a copy of the chat comments? 10:00:04 From kimberlee Patton To All Panelists : Library outreach in the schools is more vital now than ever. 10:00:11 From Axel Gerber : Thank you so much, this was wonderful 10:00:14 From Jonathan Friedman : League City -- https://pen.org/press-release/sweeping-ban-on-certain-topics-for-library-books-in-league-city-tx-has-harmful-implications/ 10:00:17 From Lynn Wolf To All Panelists : https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/north-dakota-weighs-ban-sexually-explicit-library-books-rcna66271 10:00:20 From Neal Bostwick : Super discussion and promise of links, Gina, thanks!! 10:00:28 From Joan Hull : Our goal is not to defend content. It is defending access. 10:00:43 From Michelle Beechey : Great discussion. Thank you! 10:00:48 From Kris Riley : Love the active chat - thank you everyone for participating! 10:00:49 From kkroll : Great info, thank you very much 10:00:51 From Kayla Smith : They are creating a committee to review requests on book bans. The committee won't be made up of librarians necessarily and they won't have to read the books. 10:00:56 From Trizha Loren Aquino : Thank you everyone! 10:00:58 From Christine Kuffel : We need a part two of this session! 10:00:59 From Kayla Smith : Thank you all! 10:01:01 From Kathy Hackler-she/her : I have to go; thank you so much for all of the great ideas and discussion 10:01:04 From Bryan Messersmith To All Panelists : Bravo! 10:01:04 From Andrea Kappler : Fantastic presentation!! 10:01:05 From Chris Scandling : Wonderful speakers, so much content to sort through. 10:01:07 From Heather Robideaux : Thank you! 10:01:09 From Natalie Fox : Thank you! 10:01:10 From Cali Getson : Will there be a part 2 on book banning webinar? 10:01:11 From Nancy Wendt To All Panelists : Thank you all!
