MLA and MPT are teaming up to present a free virtual screening and panel discussion on Zoom of the film The Librarians.

The Maryland Library Association (MLA) and Maryland Public Television (MPT) are teaming up to present a free virtual screening on Zoom of the film The Librarians. Enjoy a free virtual screening of this award winning documentary followed by a panel discussion moderated by CCPL's own Deputy Director and Chair of the Maryland Library Association Intellectual Freedom Panel, Lloyd Jansen. 

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.

Film running time: 84 min

Panelists include Maryland State Librarian Morgan Lehr Miller and Maryland Library Association President David Dahl.
