From the pioneering women behind the “Free Library Movement” to today’s librarians who serve the public despite working in a contentious age of closures and book bans, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all. The screening will be followed by a talkback with the filmmakers, Dawn Logsdon and Lucie Faulknor, sociologist Eric Klinenberg, and library worker Sam Jackson. Due to copyright restrictions, the documentary will not be available for online attendees.
