The Librarians, Kim A. Snyder’s critically acclaimed documentary, focuses on the culture war struggles of librarians in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and other states, who have united to combat book banning demands from Moms for Liberty and other right-wing pressure groups in the United States.

As one recent reviewer put it: “Incredibly principled and brave, the librarians talk about their vocation and standing up for the young people for whom libraries are a safe space where they can discover their identity in the pages of books” (The Guardian).

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Kim A. Snyder and producer Janique L. Robillard.
