The Librarians

When the Krause List was released, targeting 850 books focused on race and LGBTQIA+ stories, it triggered sweeping book bans across the United States at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of a large-scale, coordinated movement fueling censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats and laws aimed at criminalizing their work, the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read and First Amendment Rights is a chilling cautionary tale.
