Documentary Screening – The Librarians

When Texas lawmakers seek to review a list of books, librarians find themselves on the frontlines of a national battle. Across the U.S., librarians face the impact of uniting against library collection standards that include restrictions on race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. Drawing on historical context, this 2025 documentary, The Librarians, explores the broader implications for education and public life.

After the film, join Slaven Lee, library staff, and Jennifer Hossack, a 25 year librian and ALA Rep and the AASL Chapter Delegate on the MT Library Association Board for a brief discussion of the film’s main themes.
