- **Event Description**: THE LIBRARIANS (2025) + Q&A with filmmaker Kim A. Snyder

Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment rights in the latest documentary from Oscar®-nominated director Kim A. Snyder (DEATH BY NUMBERS). THE LIBRARIANS offers a rattling look at coordinated efforts to ban books. More importantly, it introduces viewers to the increasingly vital everyday heroes pushing back: the librarians who sound the alarm on both legislative and grassroots attempts to pull books from school and public libraries. 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 between heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Persevering in the face of harassment, threats and laws aimed at criminalizing their work, the librarians sound a rallying cry for freedom to read in this chilling cautionary tale.
