In celebration of National Library Week (April 6-12), BCFL, in partnership with WHYY, is excited to present an advanced screening of the upcoming PBS documentary, Free for All: The Public Library, from filmmakers Dawn Logsdon (Director, Producer, Editor) and Lucie Faulknor (Co-Director, Producer). The film is scheduled to premiere on PBS April 29th but you can watch it at the library early -- for free. Free for All: The Public Library tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who made a simple idea happen. From the pioneering women behind the "Free Library Movement" to today's librarians who serve the public in times of great change, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all.
The film will be followed by a discussion between BCFL staff that will explore their role and their personal experiences with libraries.
Total Run Time: 60 minutes. Post-film Discussion: 30 minutes. Seating is limited.
When you register for an event, we are holding a spot for you. If your schedule changes and you can’t attend, please let us know so we can open your spot to someone else.
This program is part of BCFL's Knowledge for Life: Adult Learning Series.
This program is offered by Bucks County Free Library in support of the PA Forward | Pennsylvania Libraries initiative. Libraries are key to powering progress and elevating the quality of life in PA by fueling the types of knowledge essential to success: Basic Literacy, Information Literacy, Civic and Social Literacy, Health Literacy, and Financial Literacy
