Downtown Huntsville Library
Film Screening: The Librarians
Thursday, April 23, 2026 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Join us for a special screening of The Librarians, an important and timely film about the struggles of librarians as they fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights.
From thelibrariansfilm.com: In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQia+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.
LOCATION: 2nd Floor Meeting Room
