Medicine Hat Public Library's TIC TAC teen volunteer group was proud to be a part of Community Foundation of Southeastern Alberta's Youth In Philanthropy program this year where they researched local charities and initiatives in order to select one to receive a donation of $1,950.

After much deliberation, they awarded Medicine Hat Family Service's Su***de Prevention Program this money because of all of their amazing outreach work. We learned that they have helped over 2,000 people in South Eastern Alberta this year so far! 👏 Congratulations!

Bill 28 affects many of the values that libraries hold such as intellectual freedom, your right to read, watch, listen, and explore ideas without barriers. Every book, every film, every voice is yours to discover.

Public libraries stand firmly against censorship and have a professional and legal responsibility to ensure free access to information, support critical thinking, and make space for diverse perspectives.

They do not endorse every idea in their collection. They do, however, protect the public’s right to access those ideas. Intellectual freedom applies to all materials, including those some may consider unconventional, unpopular, or unacceptable.
