Access to ideas, community debate, and where limits should sit.

Speaker: James Turk

In this polarized time made worse by social media and digital platforms that divide us, demands for censorship are on the rise and democracy is in danger. What can we do to bring us together, to work through differences, and to give everyone a more meaningful voice in our future?

A free event during Freedom to Read Week 2026 (February 22 – 28): A week that promotes the importance of intellectual freedom and access to information.

Talk from 7 to 8 pm, doors open at 6:30 pm (meeting room).

Limited space. For more information call 667-5239 or visit yukonlibraries.ca/events.
