Program Description

Event Details

Take a night off and join us for movie night at the library where we will be playing the new PBS movie Free for all: The Public Library! Treats provided for your enjoyment while you watch on our projection screen. 

Free for All: The Public Library tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who made a simple idea happen. From the pioneering women behind the “Free Library Movement” to today's librarians who service the public despite working in a contentious age of closures and book bans, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all.
