As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy, flanked by concerned community members and young readers.

THE LIBRARIANS, which made its world premiere at Sundance and continued on to SXSW and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, explores the moment we find ourselves in. The documentary is both a cautionary tale and rallying cry for freedom – told through the personal experiences of librarians under siege and the everyday people who join their ranks in defense of books.

88 minutes. In-person only. Produced and directed by Kim A. Snyder.
