The Village on College Hill and Lafayette College Libraries present the documentary The Librarians.

“In response to an unprecedented sweep of book bans across the United States, librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and First Amendment rights.  Nine of these librarians from across the country tell their stories… The film is gripping…as well-crafted as it is alarming.” – New York Times.

The film was the 2026 Emmy winner for documentary filmmaking. It will be introduced by Anna Ramirez Luhrs, co-director of Special Collections and College Archives. This showing is free and open to the public. An optional discussion follows. 7 p.m. Thurs., Oct. 8 • Kirby Hall of Civil Rights, Room 104 • MORE
