Join us in celebrating National Libraries Week with a screening of the documentary, The Librarians, about librarians preserving your freedom to read!

In 2021, a Texas state representative released a list of books to be removed from public schools, sparking a wide-scale review process of available books across the country. In response, a national movement of librarians facing job loss, criminalization, and harassment began organizing to resist legislative and cultural efforts that included restricting content centering LGBTQIA+ or race-related themes. The film traverses small-town USA, tracing the shared experience of librarians on the frontlines, as well as parents. Through archival footage, The Librarians juxtaposes this modern-day battle with moments in history.

This is a PBS Indie Lens Pop-Up film! https://itvs.org/films/librarians/
