I am in awe of all that they’ve faced and in all that they’ve accomplished. They are role models for us all.” <br /> The award announcement was written by Elizabeth Buchannan, director, and Michael Zimmer, research associate, at the Center for Information Policy Research, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Information Studies. <br /> “I commend the West Bend Community Memorial Library Board of Trustees, administration, and staff for their support of the principle of intellectual freedom, and I share the nominator’s awe of their commitment to defend people’s right to read materials of their choosing without arbitrary barriers that prohibit access to information,” Zimmer commented. <br /> This summer members of the library staff, Library Board and a citizen supporter of the library, were asked to participate in a roundtable discussion on dealing with such citizen complaints at the ALA’s national convention in Chicago. <br /> Tonight, Tyree and Hanrahan will be guests at the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin Foundation’s Banned Books Week Kick-off and Fundraiser in Madison to honor the “professionalism of the library staff and the efforts of community activists ... in defending a diverse library collection that is free and accessible to all community patrons.”DanBackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365782450039434389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114830525884600937.post-60777178748756504782009-09-15T03:48:12.214-07:002009-09-15T03:48:12.214-07:00All city staff should just start sending each othe...All city staff should just start sending each other TONS of emails praising Ginny.
