Hybrid: Civic Awareness Series with the League of Women Voters

The State of Book Banning

Library advocate Debbie Smart will be joining us to speak on the state of book banning. Debbie has served as a member of the Library Board of Trustees of the Arlington Heights Memorial Library since 2011. Having served as board president and treasurer, she led a strategic planning process and search for a new executive director, inspired the planning of a new makerspace featuring STEAM programs and entrepreneurial development, and was instrumental in identifying opportunities for revenue sources to supplement property tax support with a library foundation.

Debbie is a constant and vocal supporter of her library, and every library, as the place that brings the community together. She is a volunteer with numerous community organizations, and in 2014, received an award from her municipality for her volunteer service making a difference in the lives of others

The Civic Awareness Series is a program brought in partnership with the League of Women Voters of Palatine. The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization. 

You can choose to attend this program in-person or watch online on Zoom. Please indicate your preference when registering. After registering, you will receive a link to the Zoom webinar at least three hours in advance of the program. If the event is full, or if you prefer, you can watch the live stream on YouTube.com/@SchaumLib. 

Want to switch your attendance preference from online to in-person (or vice versa)? No problem! Just give us a call at (847) 923-3347 and we'll take care of that for you.

A recording of this program will be available at YouTube.com/@SchaumLib approximately 24 hours after the program is completed.
