Celebrate National Library Week by joining us for a screening of The Librarians, an award-winning documentary from director Kim A. Snyder that follows librarians across the United States as they confront the growing movement to ban books. Featuring stories from librarians in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, and beyond, the film highlights how library workers have become unexpected defenders of intellectual freedom, education, and First Amendment rights. Premiering at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, The Librarians offers a powerful look at the role libraries play in protecting access to ideas and information in our communities.
Run time: 84 minutes.
