The Learning Zone

circa 1980

The Learning Zone celebrated Freedom to Read Week, February 22-28 with a special zine display that presented content that might challenge popular norms.

Freedom to Read Week, is an annual event marked with celebrations across Canada, inviting Canadians to exercise their rights to intellectual freedom as protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedom.

Free Expression remains as important today as ever, there is a perpetual struggle to protect the right to freedom of speech and free access to material. It’s a freedom that you can’t take for granted.

The OCAD Zine Library collection reflects a large diversity of content and freedom of expression—drop by for a visit and express your right to read!
