Movie: The Librarians presented by Rutland Free Library
Advertisement
No ticket required.
Doors open at 6:30PM for general admission seating.
Rutland Free Library is hosting this FREE screening ahead of Banned Books week 2026. The film will be followed by a panel discussion including former Vermont Teacher of the Year Karen McCalla, author Jo Knowles from Authors Against Banned Books, and at least one other guest TBD.
Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights. As they well know, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities.
In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQia+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.
