Libraries and the First Amendment exhibit

In July, the McCormick Freedom Museum in Chicago created a brand new exhibit: Libraries and the First Amendment. The exhibit explores the many ways that libraries are both bastions and battlegrounds of First Amendment freedoms. Libraries and the First Amendment has two main components. First is the virtual exhibit at www.FreedomInLibraries.org that features case studies, interactives, and comment boards. The second is a versatile poster show that transforms any public library into an exhibition space.

The exhibit is offered as a free service to any library.
