Freedom to Read Week

Freedom to Read Week (February 23-March 1, 2025) is an annual event that encourages Canadians to think about and reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom.

NSCC Event

Join NSCC Libraries and Learning Commons for the session Freedom to Read: Supporting our Equity-Deserving Communities. This is a timely and important conversation on how access to information about equity-deserving groups has been challenged, both historically and currently.

This event is free and open to all. Learn more, and add this event to your calendar, from the Freedom to Read: Supporting our Equity-Deserving Communities event's page.
