The Librarians
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.
Following the film there will be an open discussion moderated by Lyda McCartin, PhD, Director of USC’s School of Library and Information Science. Participants:
- Valerie Byrd-Fort from USC’s SLIS
- Tenley Middleton, MLIS, Librarian
- Sarah Schroeder, SC State Library
