"Free for All: The Public Library" Movie Screening

The Sul Ross State University Library and Archives will host a screening of “Free for All: The Public Library” in a partnership with Basin PBS. The screening is at the Granada Theatre on Thursday, June 5. The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6 p.m.

The event is a production of Indie Lens Pop-Up and INDEPENDENT LENS. A conversation with representatives from tri-county libraries will follow the film.

“Free for All” tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all. Director Dawn Logsdon traveled the U.S. discovering historic and modern-day figures who have contributed to the library’s integral position within democracy while chronicling 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 commons are defined and defended
