The Committee on Intellectual Freedom
The Intellectual Freedom Committee strives to insure complete access to library media centers and materials; educates school librarians, administrators, and the general public about the nature and importance of intellectual freedom in the pursuit of learning; monitors, advises, and aids in situations of infringement of freedom of access to information; encourages members to report challenges to intellectual freedom; and recognizes advocates of intellectual freedom. The committee also promotes, selects, and awards the FAME Intellectual Freedom Scholarship to a Florida high school student annually.
