Trustee Track: A Survey of Changing Laws and Principles
Thursday September 5, 2024 11:15am - 12:15pm MDT
Imperial Ballroom Breakout Room: Fourth Floor
Learning Outcome
Attendees will gain an awareness of the legal, political, and cultural landscape that affects our libraries

Description
Our libraries are governed by many laws and touched by many principles. They are subject to change by the culture, politics, legislatures, rulemaking, and court interpretations. This presentation will survey major changes that affect our libraries, including:
  • Efforts to use the First Amendment as a sword instead of a shield (such as the 1st Amendment Audit, book banning, and accessibility)
  • New Colorado laws that impact libraries
  • Patron privacy
  • Disciplined patron protests and materials appeals
  • New taxation and finance changes that affect the bottom line, and much more!
We will include a lively discussion. This session is always popular. Plan to arrive early.
