Join us at Skidompha Public Library for the area premiere of THE LIBRARIANS, a story told through the personal experiences of librarians and the everyday citizens who join their ranks in defense of books and what they symbolize.
THE LIBRARIANS was directed and produced by Kim A. Snyder. The film explores an unprecedented wave of book banning in Texas, Florida, and beyond, where librarians, flanked by concerned community members and young readers, join forces fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy.
The film premiered at Sundance in January 2025 and was shown at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, TX; Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham, NC; and the Maine International Film Festival in Waterville.
The film runs 92 minutes and will be followed by a short discussion.
Concession sales including the best popcorn ever are courtesy of our friends at the Lincoln Theater.
Seating in Porter Hall is limited. RSVP and questions about accommodations: gsmith@skidompha.org. Pay What You Can at the door.
All proceeds support Skidompha operations and programs.
