<p class=MsoNormal><b>Judith Fingeret Krug</b>, 69 passed away April 11, 2009
at Evanston Hospital. Advisor, author and <span class=yshortcuts>public

years. She worked tirelessly to guarantee the rights of
individuals to express ideas and read the ideas of others without governmental
interference. Through her unwavering support of writers, teachers, librarians,
and above all, students, she has advised countless numbers of librarians and
trustees in dealing with challenges to library material. She has been
involved in multiple <span class=yshortcuts>First Amendment cases</span> that

a time in our nation’s history when an individual’s rights to access information
are constantly under attack, she worked to ensure the public’s right to know
through traditional means, as well as through the Internet. Her legacy is
a lifetime of passionate commitment, advocacy, and affirmative actions to
protect the Constitutional rights of citizens granted under the <span
class=yshortcuts>First Amendment</span>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Recipient

Irita Van Doren Award, the Harry Kalven Freedom of Expression Award, and most
recently the William J. Brennen, Jr. award, from the <span class=yshortcuts>Thomas
Jefferson Center</span> for Free Expression. In July, she will be honored
by the Freedom to Read Foundation for her years of vision and leadership.
In addition, she served as a senator and Vice President of the <span
class=yshortcuts>Phi Beta Kappa society</span>.<o:p></o:p></p>
