Documentary Screening: "The Librarians"

  • MLK Library 901 G Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20001 United States (map)

Directed by Academy Award® nominee Kim A. Snyder, this urgent film follows librarians across the country as they become unlikely front-line defenders of democracy, facing harassment, threats, and criminalization for protecting access to diverse stories. As book bans sweep the nation at unprecedented rates, these everyday heroes connect the dots between local censorship efforts and a broader assault on First Amendment rights.

This is essential viewing for library lovers and all who understand that controlling the flow of ideas means controlling our communities.

This event is free and open to the public.
