THE LIBRARIANS Film Screening

The Librarians, which made its world premiere at Sundance and continued on to SXSW and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, explores the urgent moment we find ourselves in. As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy, flanked by concerned community members and young readers.

The Librarians is a chilling cautionary tale and rallying cry for freedom – told through the personal experiences of librarians under siege and the everyday patriots who join their ranks in defense of the books.

This film will also be free to stream at home from January 2-8, 2026, by registering at this link and using the code TLD-DPL: https://www.filmplatform.net/events/the-librarians-detroit-free-public-library/
