Librarians are often seen as quiet stewards of knowledge—but today, many are on the frontlines of a national conversation about access, education, and the freedom to read.

Join PBS Books for a Filmmaker Talk with award-winning director and producer Kim A. Snyder, offering a deeper exploration of the Independent Lens documentary The Librarian, now streaming on the PBS App. Hosted by Heather-Marie Montilla, this conversation looks beyond the film to the people, communities, and questions at its core.
