The Mountain Plains Library Association Advocacy Committee has released a new set of original case studies designed to help library workers, trustees, and advocates navigate the complex challenges facing today’s libraries. Drawn from real-world trends and controversies, these fictional scenarios highlight pressures related to intellectual freedom, governance, policy application, and community expectations across public, school, and academic settings.
