Celebrate National Library Week and Right to Read Day with this special WETA+ screening of the 2026 documentary "The Librarians" with a facilitated discussion afterwards.

About the Documentary
When 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, "The Librarians" explores the broader implications for education and public life.

Adults and teens. Registration is not required but will allow visitors to receive email reminders for the event and assist organizers with planning.
