The Librarians' Doc Explores Book Bans & The 'Right To Read' In Texas
from All Of It with Alison Stewart · host WNYC
Director Kim A. Snyder discusses her new documentary called "The Librarians," which explores the role of libraries and the people who run them in today's politically fraught atmosphere. Focusing on librarians in Texas, responding to efforts to ban books about race and the LGBTQIA+ experience, the film illuminates a key angle in the conflict over access to information and art, and library patrons' so-called 'freedom to read.' Plus, New Jersey librarian Martha Hickson, who is featured in the film, shares her experiences and insights. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
