We are excited to announce Reel Talk: a special documentary and discussion series. This month we are showing the PBS documentary The Librarians (2025).


The Librarians, which made its world premiere at Sundance and continued on to SXSW and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, explores the urgent moment we find ourselves in. As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy, flanked by concerned community members and young readers. The Librarians is a chilling cautionary tale and rallying cry for freedom – told through the personal experiences of librarians under siege and the everyday patriots who join their ranks in defense of the books.


The film will be followed by a panel discussion of library leaders, including Will Adamcyzk, Director at Milton Public Library and Co-Chair of the Legislative Committee for the Massachusetts Library Association; Noelle Boc, Director at Peabody Institute Library of Danvers, ALA Chapter President, and Co-founder of the New England Intellectual Freedom Helpline; and Sara Slymon, Executive Director at the Thomas Crane Public Library (Quincy, MA).
