📚 What happens when access to books is restricted? Who decides—and what does it mean for our communities?

Join Fogler Library for an important conversation on one of the most pressing issues in libraries today: book bans and access to information.

🗓 Friday, April 17
⏰ 5–7 PM
📍 Fogler Library

Book bans often make headlines, but their real impact runs deeper—shaping what stories are available, whose voices are heard, and how access to knowledge is defined.

We’re joined by Lindsay Decker, librarian and member of the Maine Library Association’s Intellectual Freedom Committee, who will share insights from her work on the front lines of these conversations across the state.

Come be part of a thoughtful, open discussion about access, censorship, and the role of libraries today.

🌎📚 How to Build Resilience in a Time of Polycrisis:
Pedagogical Practices for Teaching Sustainability 🌎📚

Our world is navigating ecological overshoot, rising global temperatures, and accelerating climate disruption. The question is no longer if change is here. It is how we prepare our students to meet it with creativity, courage, and community.

Join us at Fogler Library for a fast-paced, energizing 90-minute Salon designed to spark collaboration and action.

This interactive session will use Open Space principles to help participants:

🌱 Share resilience-focused teaching ideas
🤝 Connect with local partners and community collaborators
♻️ Identify ways to embed regenerative practices, adaptation, and community engagement into coursework
📘 Design teaching plans aligned with Maine’s bold climate goals and Gov. Mills’ safety guidelines

Whether you teach biology, art, history, engineering, or anything in between, you will leave with concrete next steps and perhaps a few new allies in your corner.

A video recording and a document summary of the small group work will be shared after the session.
