The Librarians Film Screening & Panel Discussion

Join us on Saturday, May 2, at 5 PM for a special free screening of the award-winning documentary “The Librarians” by Kim A. Snyder.

Following the screening, we’re hosting a panel discussion and a Q&A session.

The film offers a look into the front lines of librarians emerging as first responders in the fight for democracy and free speech.

In Texas only, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQIA+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of a large-scale coordinated extremist movement fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.
