Film Screening: "Free for All: The Public Library"

Join us for a free and exclusive screening of Free for All: The Public Library, a PBS Independent Lens documentary that explores how public libraries shaped the country and continue to be a sanctuary for Americans everywhere.

Free for All: The Public Library tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who made a simple idea happen. From the pioneering women behind the “Free Library Movement” to today's librarians who service the public despite working in a contentious age of closures and book bans, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all.

The film runs approximately 60 minutes, followed by a discussion led by a Waynesboro Public Library librarian. 

Events sponsored by the Waynesboro Public Library are open to all and offered at no charge. The Library welcomes people of all abilities. Please alert Emily Shultz, shultzen@ci.waynesboro.va.us, at least ten business days in advance if there is a need for accommodation.
