Join us for a screening of the documentary The Librarians, which explores the current wave of book challenges and censorship in libraries across the country. The film will be followed by a panel discussion on intellectual freedom, access to information, and the role of libraries in today’s communities, with time for audience Q&A.

Panelists:
– Kip Wilson, CCHS librarian and YA author
– Maria McCauley, President of the American Library Association and Director of the Cambridge Public Library
– Shelley Quezada, retired consultant for Unserved Populations, Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners

An additional opportunity to watch the movie at Fowler Library is offered on Thursday, March 5, from 3:00—4:30 PM (1322 Main Street, Concord, MA, 01742).

This free program is offered in partnership with the Friends of Concord Free Public Library, the League of Women Voters of Concord-Carlisle, and the Concord Bookshop; registration is requested.
