Join us in celebrating National Library Week with a thought-provoking documentary that highlights the vital role of public libraries in our communities. Free for All: Inside the Public Library explores the rich history of libraries, from the early “Free Library Movement” led by pioneering women to today’s dedicated librarians who uphold the mission of free access to knowledge in an era of challenges.
We’re hosting free screenings of this inspiring film at five library branches throughout April. After each showing, engage in a meaningful community conversation with Library staff and Kelly Wuzzardo, Director of Education and Engagement at the Shubert Theater.
