Events › The Librarians Documentary Screening

Join us for a special screening of the award-winning documentary film The Librarians.

The Librarians takes a deep dive into current censorship attempts in the library world.

From school to public libraries, director Kim A Snyder uncovers the tense battles librarians face to uphold peoples' freedom to read.

Now screening in over 200 theaters including PBS, winner of 22 festival awards, New York Times Critic’s Pick, and named by the Guardian as one of the top 50 films of 2025, The Librarians is a must see for anyone who supports their libraries and community.

Copies of Amanda Jones' part memoir, part manifesto, That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America will be handed out at the end of the screening while supplies last. Featured in the documentary, Amanda's book chronicles her journey of advocating for free speech and readers in her community.

Library staff may take photos, videos, or audio recordings at our events. Please tell us if you do not wish to be photographed, video-recorded, or audio-recorded. We will always respect your requests!

An ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter or closed captioning can be provided for this program if requested at least seven (7) days in advance. For assistance, please contact your library or accessibility@aclibrary.org.
