SUMMARY:Democracy in Our Time: A Screening of Free For All: The Public Library
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the debut screening in our new series Democracy in Our Time\, featuring the powerful documentary Free for All: The Public Library.

From the visionary women of the “Free Library Movement” to today’s librarians navigating the challenges of book bans and funding threats\, Free for All celebrates the enduring power of libraries as civic institutions: free\, accessible\, and open to all. Following the screening\, we invite you to stay for a brief community conversation about the importance of public spaces\, intellectual freedom\, and the evolving role of libraries in supporting democracy today.
