The Librarians (2025)
For Grades 8-12
Screening and Q&A with Kim A. Snyder, director
An unprecedented wave of book banning spreads across Texas, Florida, and beyond, primarily targeting race and LGBTQIA+ issues. Librarians under siege unite as unlikely defenders, fighting for intellectual freedom and emerging as first responders in their battle for democracy, free access to information, and First Amendment rights.
