The Librarians: A Must-See Documentary for Book Lovers

This week we dedicate our show to a documentary that we think is important. We have promised our listeners to keep the podcast non-political (no shouting talking heads, no books with a political agenda). But there are some issues that are vitally important that we also believe are non-political. Book banning is first and foremost among these. Next week on February 9th, The Librarians documentary starts streaming on PBS stations across the country as part of their beloved Independent Lens series. Join us as we talk to two brave and brilliant librarians fighting book bans with all their might. We also talk to Kim A. Snyder, the director of the film about why the stories presented in this documentary are so important. Book banning is wrong. And we are talking about it this week.
