Join AZPM and Arizona Illustrated host Tom McNamara for a screening of Free For All: The Public Library, a documentary from Independent Lens. The film 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. Discover how these individuals created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all. Admission is free. All are welcome! Come celebrate the enduring value of public libraries in our communities.
