Update: Halifax Public Libraries and The Radical Imagination Project
July 5, 2019
Halifax Public Libraries received very thoughtful feedback over the past few days on our response to The Radical Imagination Project's proposed film programs and the need for the Library to provide safe spaces in our community where all members, especially those who experience marginalization, can speak freely and openly about the issues that affect them.

We acknowledge these concerns and the statistics related to likelihood of involvement in the justice system, and the power imbalance that many experience.
