Hello WA students

I think I distributed something a few weeks ago about this film ... hopefully other states are showing it also, but for  interested WA students there is a screening on May 1. See below for details and registration.

Best wishes
Gaby

Subject: [WAIN] Film screening - The Librarians


Hi all



Public Libraries WA is pleased to present a special screening of the documentary film “The Librarians” following the PLWA meeting on Friday May 1.

The screening will commence at 11am. Numbers are limited and you can book your free spot here - https://events.humanitix.com/plwalibrarians

Please pass on to your teams and colleagues in other sectors.

The blurb:

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.



Kind regards
