Working in a Public Library in Tumultuous Times: A Candid Conversation on Censorship, Access, and Funding

Join UNCG’s Public Library Concentration for a candid conversation centered on the topics you raised most frequently: censorship, access, and funding in public libraries. These topics are derived from a poll of public library concentration students conducted in September 2026.

This event, which will not be recorded, will be organized around student questions, interests, and concerns. You can also bring your own questions to this event.

Join in! Friday, October 23, 12:00 PM

A wonderful ILRS alumni connection made its way onto NPR’s 1A!

During a recent conversation about the future of school libraries, the host shared a message from a Greensboro parent describing the positive impact her daughter’s school librarian has made. That librarian was none other than ILRS alumna Hannah Zamboni!

The parent shared that “Mrs. Zamboni” created a space where her daughter felt safe and seen—a powerful reminder that school librarians do much more than connect students with books. They create welcoming spaces where young people feel supported, valued, and free to be themselves.

We are so proud to see Hannah’s meaningful work recognized nationally!

Listen to the conversation:

At the start of another academic year, 1A is in session.
