SUMMARY:"The Librarians" Documentary Film Screening and Discussion Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free screening of the documentary\, “The Librarians\,” from director Kim A. Snyder. A professional panel and Q&A session will follow the screening. Film run time is 88 minutes. \nABOUT THE FILM:\nOnce upon a now\, in today’s America\, political polarization finds librarians under siege as an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas\, Florida\, and beyond. As the crisis escalates\, they join forces as unlikely defenders on the frontlines of democracy. \nIn October 2021\, Texas House Representative Matt Krause issued a list of 850 books for schools to review for obscene and race-related content\, urging officials to develop standards to ensure “pornography” and anything that may make students feel “discomfort\, guilt or anguish” be removed. The majority of content flagged had racial or LGBTQia+ themes. Parental Rights groups like Moms for Liberty dug in nationwide and book challenges escalated exponentially and became more coordinated. Vulnerable librarians were\, and continue to be\, targeted. \nWith unique access to a new movement in the making\, librarians take us on an odyssey across America to tell their story to resist censorship efforts. We meet a US Army veteran who was fired for refusing to remove books with racial content — and whose County Commissioners\, in the wake of a lawsuit filed by local community members alleging First and Fourteenth Amendment Rights infringements\, attempted to close the public library itself. A librarian in New Jersey investigates coordinated efforts between Parental Rights organizations and a national effort to undermine public education that landed in her own school district with direct attacks\, calling her a “pornographer\, pedophile\, and groomer of children”. A nationally lauded librarian is besieged with death threats in her native Louisiana parish where she lost 12 students to suicide because to feeling “othered.” Tensions escalate as legislation spreads proposing to criminalize librarians for distributing alleged pornographic materials to minors. \nIn a dystopian saga akin to a real-lifeFahrenheit451 sequel\, director KIM A. SNYDER’s gripping documentary THE LIBRARIANS traverses small-town U.S.A. with riveting interviews and troves of archival material to reveal the story of the country’s heroic librarians\, everyday Americans who have become unlikely defenders of democracy\, risking everything to uphold our most fundamental of rights.

SUMMARY:It Takes a Village: Supporting Youth\, Families\, and Schools in a Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Our kids are growing up in a world we never imagined—where friendships\, play\, and even self-worth are shaped by a screen.

But we don’t have to let it. Join us as we unpack The Anxious Generation and learn how we\, as a community\, can reclaim what matters most. \nNo pre-reading is required to attend. \n4 Door Prize Winners will receive a book!\nSponsored by the La Crescent Public Library \nThis program is sponsored by Winona State University COUNSELOR Education\, La Crescent Public Library\, La Crescent Emotional Wellness Connection\, and Hiawatha Valley Education District.
