The Librarians takes viewers from Texas to Florida and beyond where local libraries have become unexpected battlegrounds in a national struggle over parental control, intellectual freedom and democracy itself. Across the U.S., librarians face the impact of uniting against library collection standards that include restrictions on race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. Drawing on historical context, The Librarians explores the broader implications for education and public life. Brought to you by PBS Indie Lens. A panel discussion with local advocates and experts will follow the Friday screening. Panelists include:
- Jennifer Hovanec, La Grange Public Library Executive Director
- Joanna Marek, Spring Avenue Elementary School Librarian
- Joyce Hagen-McIntosh, Freedom to Read Foundation Assistant Program Director
- Kristin Pekoll, Illinois Library Association Conference & Continuing Education Manager
