About the Event

Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum in partnership with the Seattle Public Library presents a panel discussion  exploring censorship and intellectual freedom and the challenges faced by librarians and schools.

Moderated by Folio librarian Lillian Dabney, the panel will share first hand accounts from challenged authors about their experiences, and offer the audience an opportunity to share and  gain insights into their own attitudes towards censorship. Joining Lillian are Jewell Parker Rhodes author of Ghost Boys , Jonathan Evison author of Lawn Boy, Deb Sica Deputy County Librarian at Alameda County Library and Soraya Silverman-Montano Youth and Family Learning Manager for the Seattle Public Library.

Dr. Jewell Parker Rhodes is a New York Times bestselling and award-winning educator and writer for both youth and adults. She is the Virginia G. Piper Endowed Chair at Arizona State University and the Founding Director of the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing.
