Join us for a free event showing the story of the quiet revolutionaries who created free and open civic institutions nationwide.
About this Event

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.

Join us to view the film, explore the library and talk with us about how it has held to its mission as a community space serving the public while adapting to what we need today.
