First amendment audits continue to occur in libraries, and they can be unsettling and stressful for staff and patrons. What can you do to prepare for the next auditor’s visit, and what strategies can you use when they have the camera in your face? What is within scope of such audits, and which key policies and supporting language should you have in place? Deborah Caldwell-Stone, Director of the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom, will highlight case studies and share best practice for dealing with auditors. She will also share avenues for support when navigating challenges as well as tools for library advocacy.
