"The Librarians" Film Screening and Discussion

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Kim A. Snyder’s illuminating documentary offers a rattling look at coordinated efforts to ban books. The documentary introduces viewers to the everyday and increasingly vital heroes pushing back: the librarians who sound the alarm to both legislative and grassroots attempts to pull books from school and public libraries.

This film is presented in partnership with Indie Lens Pop-Up, presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS.

Following the film screening will be a discussion featuring the following panelists:

Kate Cummings, MLIS, MBA
1st VP/President-Elect of the Pennsylvania Library Association

Billie Walker
Head Librarian, Penn State Great Valley

Dr. Cathi Fuhrman
Retired School Librarian, Co-Chair Intellectual Freedom Task Group/Read for Liberty PA, Pennsylvania School Librarians Association

This event is free and open to the public, however, pre-registration is required.
