10:00am Film Screening & Discussion
When Texas lawmakers move to review a sweeping list of books, librarians across the country find themselves on the frontlines of a growing national debate. The Librarians takes a powerful look at how library professionals, educators, and communities are navigating challenges to intellectual freedom, particularly around materials addressing race and LGBTQIA+ topics. With historical context and real-world stories, the film explores what’s at stake for public access to information and the future of education.
Stay after the screening for a post-film discussion with Dianne Hathaway, former Library Director at Goffstown Public Library.
This event is part of PBS’s Indie Lens Pop-Up series and is free and open to the public.
