Abstract

The objective of this article is to examine contemporary debates about the role of religion in public spaces, public discourse, and workplaces and the ideology of secularism at the heart of these debates. The article demonstrates the relevance of such debates for library workers and library patrons and the need to challenge the assumed neutrality of secularist ideologies to ensure libraries do not marginalize or exclude religious perspectives and minorities.
