The Freedom to Read Foundation is pleased to announce the two recipients of scholarships to attend "Intellectual Freedom and Censorship," an online course offered by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Graduate School of Library and Information Science (Illinois GSLIS) in collaboration with the Freedom to Read Foundation.  Berenice Prado Mendoza (left) is a student at Emporia State University and Jamie D. Carlstone (below) is at Dominican University.

The scholarships are provided via FTRF's Judith F. Krug Memorial Fund.  

As part of its sponsorship of the course, FTRF will provide all enrolled students with a copy of the book True Stories of Censorship Battles in America's Libraries, edited by Valerie Nye and Kathy Barco. FTRF is also participating via guest lectures by staff, trustees, and volunteers and providing material from its archives of Judith Krug's lectures and interviews.  The course will be taught by Illinois GSLIS Professor Emily Knox.

The course is available to any LIS student and we are excited the course will include participants from multiple institutions. Registration in the course has been extended to Friday, August 15 for anyone interested.  For more information, visit www.ftrf.org/?Krug_Education.

Congratulations to the two recipients, and many thanks to everyone involved in the course and scholarship process!
