So proud to be part of the story! Go @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social 💕

The Librarians Film is officially a nominee for an EMMY! So proud to be a part of this film and its message is more important than ever. @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social @pbs.org

Congratulations to @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social for being nominated for an Emmy!

To the brave librarians and advocates we’ve encountered throughout our journey, this nomination is for all of you fighting for our intellectual freedom and First Amendment Rights! And a big thank you to our broadcast partners at @pbs.org for helping us share this important story throughout the U.S.

THE LIBRARIANS is heading to the #Emmys! We’re thrilled to announce that Kim A. Snyder’s riveting portrait of the courageous librarians and everyday citizens in the Freedom to Read movement has been nominated for Exceptional Merit In Documentary Filmmaking!

“We must fight bans on books that teach the honest, factual accurate history of Black people in America most dramatically… challenging lawmakers and school board members in local communities through both policy debates and electoral politics.” - NAACP

Take a stand alongside Freedom to Read advocates such as Reverand Dove and let book banners know that you “got a problem with that.”

30+ states have banned books by Black authors and 40% of challenged books represent the lived experiences of people of color and the LGBTQIA+ community. This is an attempt to erase factually accurate history and uphold white supremacy. *References: NAACP, Color of Change & Pen America

“Politicians are making everyday teachers & library professionals feel that practicing their professions is a risky business.

Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy + First Amendment Rights. Controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities. In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race + LGBTQia+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across USA at an unprecedented rate.
