"With unique access to a new movement in the making, librarians take us on an odyssey across America to tell their story to resist censorship efforts. We meet a US Army veteran who was fired for refusing to remove books with racial content — and whose County Commissioners, in the wake of a lawsuit filed by local community members alleging First and Fourteenth Amendment Rights infringements, attempted to close the public library itself. A librarian in New Jersey investigates coordinated efforts between Parental Rights organizations and a national effort to undermine public education that landed in her own school district with direct attacks, calling her a “pornographer, pedophile, and groomer of children”. A nationally lauded librarian is besieged with death threats in her native Louisiana parish where she lost 12 students to suicide because to feeling “othered.” Tensions escalate as legislation spreads proposing to criminalize librarians for distributing alleged pornographic materials to minors.

In a dystopian saga akin to a real-life Fahrenheit 451 sequel, director KIM A. SNYDER’s gripping documentary THE LIBRARIANS traverses small-town U.S.A. with riveting interviews and troves of archival material to reveal the story of the country’s heroic librarians, everyday Americans who have become unlikely defenders of democracy, risking everything to uphold our most fundamental of rights."

**We will be having a post-viewing discussion at the library on Saturday, October 25 at 1:00 pm, featuring cameos from special guests!  Please register separately if you would like to be part of this discussion.
