Join us for a special viewing of the PBS documentary titled The Librarians. Librarians across the U.S. examine how restrictions on library content are shaping communities. When lawmakers seek to review a list of books, librarians find themselves on the frontlines of a national battle. Across the U.S., librarians face the impact of uniting against library collection standards that include restrictions on race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. Drawing on historical context, The Librarians explores the broader implications for education and public life.Our afternoon book discussion will meet immediately after to discuss the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Join us for the movie and the book or either. All are welcome.

This month’s selection is: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.  Fahrenheit 451 is a novel set in the (perhaps near) future when “firemen” burn books forbidden by a totalitarian “brave new world” regime. The hero, according to Mr. Bradbury, is “a book burner who suddenly discovers that books are flesh-and-blood ideas and cry out silently when put to the torch.” Today, when libraries and schools in this country and all over the world are still “burning” certain books, Fahrenheit 451remains a brilliantly readable and suspenseful work of even greater impact and timeliness.
