🎬 Have you heard the buzz about "The Librarians", the award-winning film we'll be screening on Tuesday, October 20th in recognition of Ontario Public Library Week?

🍿 Join us for the film, then stay afterwards for a discussion on the importance of intellectual freedom. Ages 16+

🗓 Tuesday, October 20th
⏰ 6:30-8:30 PM
📌 Free! Drop-in.

About the film:

"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."
