SUMMARY:The Librarians\, a documentary screening at Essex Library Association
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening of the 2025 documentary: The Librarians. Maureen Sullivan\, former president for the American Library Association\, will make introductory remarks\, placing the film’s main themes in the context of Connecticut. A short discussion with the audience will follow the screening. Register HERE. \nIn the film\, librarians 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 (Unrated\, 92 minutes). Watch the official trailer HERE. This film was directed and produced by Kim A. Snyder and produced by Janique L. Robillard\, Maria Cuomo Cole and Jana Edelbaum. Read more about the filmmakers HERE.  \nLight refreshments provided. This program is free and open to the public.
