The Book and Periodical Council is this year’s winner of the Les Fowlie Intellectual Freedom Award. The honour is awarded by the Ontario Library Association.
The BPC won the award because of the “tireless efforts” of its Freedom of Expression Committee “in promoting intellectual freedom for all Canadians” and “organizing the annual Freedom to Read Week,” said Shelagh Paterson, Executive Director of the OLA.
The OLA will present the award during Freedom to Read Week at 8 a.m. on Friday, February 26, 2010 at the OLA’s Super Conference at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. TOP |
