Intellectual Freedom in the Digital Age

The digital age has brought new challenges to intellectual freedom. The internet has made it easier than ever for people to access information, but it has also made it easier for governments and corporations to censor and control content. Librarians play a vital role in ensuring that the internet remains a free and open space for all.

Cooke discusses the challenges facing libraries in the digital age and offers practical advice on how librarians can protect intellectual freedom online. She also highlights the importance of teaching digital literacy skills to patrons so that they can access and evaluate information for themselves.

The Role of Libraries in Society

Libraries have always played an important role in society. They provide access to information and resources that people need to learn, grow, and participate in their communities. In recent years, libraries have also become increasingly important as places where people can connect with others and build community.

Cooke argues that libraries are more important than ever in the 21st century. She discusses the ways that libraries can help to address social problems such as poverty, inequality, and discrimination. She also highlights the role that libraries can play in promoting civic engagement and fostering a sense of community.

A Call to Arms for Rebel Librarians

Property of the Rebel Librarian is a call to arms for librarians to stand up for intellectual freedom and the rights of their patrons. Cooke provides practical advice on how librarians can do this, both in their everyday work and in their advocacy efforts. She also urges librarians to work together to build a strong and united movement for intellectual freedom.

If you care about the future of libraries and the freedom to read, then you need to read Property of the Rebel Librarian. This book is a powerful and inspiring call to action for librarians and all who believe in the importance of intellectual freedom.
