Screening of THE LIBRARIANS (2025)
CSU Libraries, in partnership with the ACT Human Rights Film Festival, Poudre Libraries and in observance of Banned Books Week, hosts a film screening of The Librarians with panel discussion to follow.
The Librarians (dir. Kim A. Snyder, 2025) follows librarians throughout the United States as they work to protect children’s rights to access books. The documentary takes us to an unexpected front line where librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy, free access to information, and our First Amendment Rights. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work—their rallying cry for the freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale. As they well know, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities.
The documentary film premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and won Best Documentary Feature Film jury awards at both the Sarasota (Fla.) Film Festival and the Dallas International Film Festival. The film runs 92 minutes in English and will have a panel discussion to follow.
