Film Screening and Discussion: “Free for All: The Public Library”

ree 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 panel discussion with New Rochelle Public Library (NRPL) Director Eugenia Schatoff, Executive Director Westchester Library System Terry Kirchner, Scholar, Professor, Educator, and Author LaRuth Gray, and NRPL Trustee Tatiana Infante. New Rochelle Public Library Foundation Board Member Theresa Kump Leghorn will moderate the discussion.

Join us for light refreshments following the discussion.
