Promotional image for the documentary, The Librarians

Please join us for a special virtual screening of "The Librarians", a powerful and timely documentary that sheds light on the growing wave of book banning across the United States. From Texas to Florida and beyond, librarians find themselves on the front lines of a critical fight, defending intellectual freedom and the right to access information.

"The Librarians" offers a compelling and deeply human look at those who have become unlikely defenders of democracy. Through the personal experiences of librarians, alongside the voices of concerned community members and young readers, the film reveals both the challenges and the courage present in this pivotal moment.

This screening serves as both a cautionary tale and a call to action, inviting us to reflect on the role of libraries, access, and freedom in our society today.
