What’s Happening?

The Librarians Screenings
Wednesday, April 22 6pm-8pm and Saturday. April 25 2pm-4pm
419 Library Street | Braddock, PA 15104

Celebrate National Library week with two screenings of the documentary The Librarians, which showcases librarians emerging as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights.

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 a large-scale coordinated extremist movement 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.

These screenings are free for all ages and made possible through partnership with WQED.

 

We are now collecting a $50 refundable deposit on table and chairs reservations. The deposit is collected prior to check out and refunded after all items are returned undamaged and checked in by staff.
