"Free for All: The Public Library" Documentary Screening

"Free for All: The Public Library" Documentary Screening

Free for All: The Public Library - How public libraries shaped the country and continue to be a sanctuary for Americans everywhere.

Free for All: The Public Library tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who made a simple idea happen. From the pioneering women behind the “Free Library Movement” to today's librarians who service the public despite working in a contentious age of closures and book bans, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all.

Free for All: The Public Library will premiere on PBS WHYY on April 29, 2025 at 10pm.

Filmmakers: Dawn Logsdon (Director, Producer, Editor) and Lucie Faulknor (Co-director, Producer).
