Indie Lens Pop-Up: The Librarians

Roanoke Public Libraries is partnering with PBS Indie Lens for pop-up screenings of independent films. For National Library Week, we are screening The Librarians by Kim A. Snyder (director/producer), Janique L. Robillard (producer), Maria Cuomo Cole (producer), and Jana Edelbaum (producer). Dinner will be provided and discussion with RPL staff will follow. When Texas lawmakers seek to review a list of books, librarians find themselves on the frontlines of a national battle. Across the U.S., librarians face the impact of uniting against library collection standards that include restrictions on race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. Drawing on historical context, The Librarians explores the broader implications for education and public life.
