Intellectual Freedom Scholarship

"The principles of intellectual freedom--the idea that a democracy is dependent upon free and open access to ideas—are hallmarks of the library and education professions. But librarians and teachers sometimes face strong opinions regarding what material people think is appropriate for children and teenagers to have access to in a school library, public library, or classroom." Cooperative Children's Book Center, School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison)

Intellectual Freedom Principles:
"The principles of intellectual freedom--the idea that a democracy is dependent upon free and open access to ideas—are hallmarks of the library and education professions. But librarians and teachers sometimes face strong opinions regarding what material people think is appropriate for children and teenagers to have access to in a school library, public library, or classroom." Cooperative Children's Book Center, School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison)
One of the most important areas of concern to school librarians is intellectual freedom. We believe that it is the right of every student to search for and receive information. School libraries provide access to all students without restrictions. Together with the American Library Association, we uphold the tenets of intellectual freedom.
The Freedom to Read Act affirms our position that "all libraries are forums for information and ideas."
