The Valley Reporter - ‘The Librarians’ tackles book bans fearlessly, and with hope
‘The Librarians,’ playing at the Big Picture in Waitsfield tonight, is hard to stomach. It’s a documentary about recent efforts to normalize banning books in school and public libraries.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

The right to read belongs to all of us, but rights only survive when we defend them. ALA is standing with library workers, parents, and readers to push back against censorship. You can donate to support our work at
ilovelibraries.org/1984
. Censorship is so 1984, but supporting libraries is so 2025.

This is real. Our govt is Tweeting like a 14 year old and calling Americans imbecilic morons. We worry about children being bullied but this is the example set by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. This is so shameful. I’m embarrassed for any of you that think this is okay or make excuses for it.

“The Librarians is ultimately a warning. It shows how quickly a political movement, convinced of its own righteousness, can begin using public institutions—libraries, school boards, and entire school systems—to silence dissent and impose its worldview on the next generation.”

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
