Program Description

Event Details

Come learn about how these efforts affect library patrons, staff, and all libraries in the US, including in Wyoming. The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion on what community members can do to support libraries and freedom of information.

THE LIBRARIANS, which made its world premiere at Sundance and continued on to SXSW and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, explores the urgent moment we find ourselves in. As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy, flanked by concerned community members and young readers. THE LIBRARIANS is a chilling cautionary tale and rallying cry for freedom–told through the personal experiences of librarians under siege and the everyday patriots who join their ranks in defense of the books.

In collaboration with Teton County Library Foundation & Friends, Teton County Library, Better Wyoming, and Jackson Hole International Film Festival.
