Event Details

The Librarians chronicles Texas lawmakers’ efforts to review and restrict library materials, placing librarians on the frontlines of a national debate. Across the country, librarians and communities are grappling with challenges to collection standards, particularly around race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. Drawing on historical context, The Librarians invites viewers to consider the broader implications for education, access to information, and public life. Runtime: 1h 28m (Watch trailer)

Our screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Emily Drabinski, Past President of the American Library Association, along with librarians from Westchester libraries who have faced challenges to materials in their collections.

This event is a  collaboration between the Chappaqua Library and the Town of New Castle.
