Free For All: The Public Library documentary event

Description

Join your library and your community to watch the newly released documentary Free for All: The Public Library from Indie Lens and Maryland Public Television which charts the institution’s trajectory, from America’s original Free Library Movement that began in the mid–19th century, to current struggles in a digital age amidst budget cuts, closures, and polarizing book bans. Following the stories of public library visitors and staff striving to implement innovative policies, the film celebrates a civic institution whose offerings are free and whose doors are open to all.

Come spend an evening out at the beautiful downtown Fletcher Library.  Learn about library history, its future, and all it has to offer while connecting with other library supporters, watching an engaging 60-minute film, and hearing from those who help bring these services to you joyfully.
