Independent Lens Film Screening and Discussion: Free for All: The Public Library In-Person
Join WHYY and Phoenixville Public Library for a free screening of “Free for All: The Public Library” and learn about the making of this free civic institution.
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 screening will be followed by a discussion moderated by Joseph Sherwood, Executive Director of the Chester County Library System.
This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. Phoenixville Public Library is located at 183 Second Avenue, Phoenixville, PA 19460.
