RiverRun International Film Festival presents a free Indie Lens Pop-Up screening of Free for All: The Public Library

Synopsis

Free for All: The Public Library tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who made a simple idea happen. From the pioneering women behind the “Free Library Movement” to today’s librarians who service the public despite working in a contentious age of closures and book bans, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all.

A discussion will follow the screening with the following panelists:

• Meghan Webb, Instruction & Outreach Librarian, Z. Smith Reynolds Library, Wake Forest University

• Wanda Brown, Director of Library Services, C.G. O’Kelly Library, Winston-Salem State University

• Yolanda Bolden, Library Director, Forsyth County Public Library
