SUMMARY:Award-Winning Documentary Film Screening & Discussion - The Librarians
DESCRIPTION:The Curtis Contemporaries are honored to present this 90-minute\, award-winning documentary about the freedom to read\, followed by a brief conversation about book challenges at Curtis Memorial Library. We hope you will join us. \nABOUT “THE LIBRARIANS” FILM \nLibrarians 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.
