School Librarians Celebrated at Sundance Film Festival Screening of Documentary: The Librarians By Kara Yorio
There were tears and standing ovations as librarians, including Amanda Jones and Becky Calzada, watched their stories of fighting against censorship chronicled in the new film.

Free for All documentary celebrates public libraries

Imagine having an easy way to engage your library patrons in a conversation about the importance of your library. That’s the idea behind Free for All: The Public Library, an exciting new documentary premiering on PBS Indie Lens this April. The film chronicles the evolution of the nation’s public libraries, tracing the battles over who can enter, what belongs there, and who makes these decisions while exploring how public spaces are defined and defended.

Best of all, your library can host a free screening. PBS Books and Indie Lens Pop-Up offer educational resources, discussion guides, and booklists to help you engage your community. Read the full story and join the conversation in your community.
