The Librarians – Movie Screening

Join us for a special National Library Week 2026 Screening of the documentary The Librarians on Thursday, April 26, at the Undergraduate Library.

In today’s America, political polarization finds librarians under siege as an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond. As the crisis escalates, they join forces as unlikely defenders on the frontlines of democracy. Director Kim A. Snyder’s documentary The Librarians traverses small-town U.S.A. with riveting interviews and troves of archival material to reveal the story of the country’s heroic librarians, everyday Americans who have become unlikely defenders of democracy, risking everything to uphold our most fundamental of rights.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m, with the event promptly starting at 7:00 p.m. Happening in room 205 of the Undergraduate Library. Seating is first-come, first-served and this event is open to all.
