What happens to intellectual freedom when libraries come under attack? What happens to curiosity?
Librarian and director of the Department of Libraries in Arlington, VA, Diane Kresh joins me to explore the long and storied history of bad-ass librarians, book bans and book sanctuaries, the “curiosity paradox” of such bans, what makes libraries a center for community, and why curiosity is like an insatiable puppy.
“The library can be a great refuge, if you will, for people who are questioning.” ~ Diane Kresh
