Indie Lens Pop-Up, presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS, and Prairie Public, will host an event featuring a shortened, preview version of “Free for All: The Public Library.” “Free for All: The Public Library” tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who created a civic institution where everything is free, and the doors are open to all.
The public library is one of America’s most valued yet endangered institutions. Director Dawn Logsdon travels the United States, discovering historic and modern-day figures, especially women, who contributed to the library’s integral position within democracy. “Free for All: The Public Library” chronicles the evolution of the nation’s public libraries, tracing the battles over who can enter, what belongs there, and who makes these decisions, while exploring how public commons are defined and defended.
The event is free and open to all, but an RSVP is requested at prairiepublic.ticketbud.com.
WHEN:
Thursday, April 24, from 2:00pm to 3:30pm
WHERE:
Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library, Meeting Room A
WHO:
Free and open to all ages. Media is invited to attend.
