SUMMARY:The Librarians - FILM
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening + Q&A With Film Producer Janique L. Robillard\, Dean of KU Libraries Carol Smith and Robin Hastings of Northeast Kansas Library System. Moderated by Former Kansas Legislator and community leader Christina Haswood. \nRun time: 1h 28m\nDirected by Kim A. Snyder \nABOUT THE FILMIn 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 White Christian Nationalism 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. \nPresented in partnership with the University of Kansas Libraries and Lawrence Public Library.
