‘Free for All’ documentary tells story of public libraries’ critical roles throughout history and today
A new documentary is putting America’s public libraries—and the challenges they face—front and center. Free for All: The Public Library explores the history, impact, and ongoing struggles of libraries, from budget cuts to book bans. The film is being screened at hundreds of libraries nationwide through PBS’s Indie Lens Pop-Up program, aiming to spark local conversations. At a time when libraries are caught in political crossfire, the message is clear: these institutions have shaped our communities, and their future shouldn’t be taken for granted. Grace Hagerman with Current has the full story.
And if you want to dive right in, PBS has made the film available for direct screening on Youtube.
