IFLA Makes Recording of Banned Books Webinar Available
Loida Garcia-Febo, chairperson of IFLA’s Management of Library Associations section, posted a notice to the IFLA-L email list, stating the following in part:To mark Banned Books Week 2025, the IFLA Management of Library Associations Section (MLAS) collaborated with the Library Theory and Research Section (LTR) and the IFLA Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression Advisory Committee (FAIFE) to present the global webinar ‘Libraries Preserving Access in Times of Crises.’ Held on Wednesday, 8 October 2025 at 7:30 a.m. EDT (New York City), the event brought together speakers from around the world to examine the growing threats to access to information—ranging from intentional censorship to the destruction of knowledge during conflict and crisis. The session highlighted powerful, on-the-ground library initiatives that are protecting books, safeguarding cultural memory, and defending the right to read in some of the world’s most challenging contexts. Presentations spotlighted efforts in the United States, Lebanon, and Indigenous communities, demonstrating how libraries continue to uphold intellectual freedom and resilience. … The full webinar recording is now available for viewing. We invite library professionals, advocates, and community members to revisit this inspiring session and continue the conversation on how libraries can—and do—preserve access to information in times of crisis.
