The LIANZA Freedom-to-Read toolkit is a new resource for people working in library and information services. It will help them with the issues of book challenges and mis/dis information in their libraries. The toolkit helps library staff prepare for challenges by providing information on the New Zealand context and legislation involved in this area. It helps identify the policies and processes libraries should have.
There will be a series of webinars on the topics in the toolkit, starting with an introduction to the toolkit on February 27.

As key stakeholders in the library and information sector. LIANZA, SLANZA and PLNZ wrote this briefing paper to introduce new MP's to our organisations and identify key areas affecting our library and information members. We are pleased that SLANZA’s voice was present in this important communication to the Ministers to inform them of the work of SLANZA, and the critical role of school libraries and librarians in the education sector.
