Event Details
This webinar seeks to foster a basic understanding of Copyright, emphasizing content creators. It will provide an introduction to a vast topic in hopes of making it a less intimidating subject.
Presenter: AlTonya Washington began her library career in the public library arena in 2002 before moving into the academic library world in 2004 at Davidson College. She obtained her master's in Library Science in 2012 and went to work for the Carnegie Library at Livingstone College later that same year. She returned to the public library in 2017 as the Supervising Librarian for the Cabarrus County Public Library System.

She has been a published romance writer for over 20 years. She has written for BET Books Arabesque, Kensington's Dafina Books label, and Harlequin's Kimani Romance line. She's won the Romantic Times Magazine Reviewer's Choice Award twice and enjoys a robust indie writing career.
