SUMMARY:The Librarians Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Kathryn A. Martin Library for a screening of the film\, The Librarians\, and a banned books discussion panel featuring local librarians. The Duluth Library Foundation is a co-host of this free event. \n\n\nWhen:  October 6\, 2026\, at 6:00 pm \nWhere: Bohannon Hall 90\, UMD Campus. Free campus parking is available after 5:00 pm. \nWho: All are welcome. The event is free and registration is not required. \nABOUT THE FILM \nLibrarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights. As they well know\, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities. 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 a large-scale coordinated extremist movement 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. \nRuntime: 88 min. \n\n\n
