Program Description
Details
NorCal Public Media presents a free film screening of Independent Lens documentary Free for All: The Public Library.
The public library is one of America’s most valued, yet endangered institutions. The public library system was founded on a visionary principle—to create a place where anyone can enter and encounter a universe of ideas, free of charge. Free for All: The Public Library chronicles the evolution of the nation’s public libraries, tracing the battles over who can enter, what belongs there, and who makes these decisions while exploring how public spaces are defined and defended.
Advance registration required via Eventbrite here.
Film screening begins at 1 p.m. followed by a discussion about the ongoing role of libraries in public life.
The panel discussion will feature:
Deborah Doyle, Sonoma County Library Commission Chair
Erika Thibault, Sonoma County Library Director
Alisa Adams, Sonoma County Adult Literacy Program Coordinator
