Program Description

Event Details

Watch a special screening of Free For All: The Public Library, a documentary by Dawn Logsdon and Lucie Faulknor. After the film, stay for a short panel presentation and Q&A session with library leaders.

The documentary shares the story of the quiet revolutionaries behind America’s public libraries—from the women of the Free Library Movement to today’s librarians who continue to serve communities amid challenges like closures and book bans. Learn how this civic institution was built on the idea that everything should be free and open to all.

This program is presented in partnership with the West Des Moines Public Library

Panel members:
Sue Woody, Director, Des Moines Public Library
Traci Glass, Director, West Des Moines Public Library
