Free For All: The Public Library at the Garden Cinema

Join the Greenfield Public Library on Monday, May 19 at 6:00 pm, for a free screening of the documentary Free For All: The Public Library, at the Greenfield Garden Cinemas.

Directed by filmmakers Dawn Logsdon and Lucie Faulknor, Free for All: The Public Library tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who made a simple idea happen. From the pioneering women behind the “Free Library Movement” to today's librarians who serve the public despite working in a contentious age of closures and book bans, this documentary introduces those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all.

After the film, stay for a panel discussion on “Why Libraries Matter” with:

Anna Bognolo, Greenfield Public Library
Misha Storm, Dickinson Memorial Library
Chelsea Jordan-Makely, Griswold Memorial Library
Abigail Barnes, Western Massachusetts Library Advocates
Timothy Cherubini, Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners
Sanda Erdelez, Simmons University
