ALA 150 Movie Night: The Librarians

About this event

Celebrate the 150th anniversary of the American Library Association and Banned Book Week with a viewing of the documentary The Librarians. From the documentary website: “In Texas, 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 extremism 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.” Run time: 92 minutes
