THE LIBRARIANS + Q&A w/ four local librarians

THE LIBRARIANS, which made its world premiere at Sundance and continued on to SXSW and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, explores the urgent moment we find ourselves in. As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy, flanked by concerned community members and young readers. THE LIBRARIANS is a chilling cautionary tale and rallying cry for freedom – told through the personal experiences of librarians under siege and the everyday patriots who join their ranks in defense of the books.

Immediately following the screening stay in your seats and join Elizabeth Hoover de Galvez from Lisbon Public Library, Grace Chamberlain from Cole Library, Liz King from Solon Public Library, and Sarah Selon from Ely Public Library for a casual-but-lively Q&A conversation. They'll respond to the film, but also take questions and guide conversation on topics from patrons.
