What is Collège

This chapter relates the place of intellectual freedom and right to read for French secondary students in the 21st century as well as the place of French teacher librarians in the promotion of it. The question of censorship in French secondary schools will be addressed taking into account the specificities of the French educational system which should respect the core values of the French Republic. This chapter is divided in three parts: the general framework of national policies for reading promotion, teacher librarians' role to promote reading in secondary schools, and the question of censorship in French school libraries nowadays.
