SUMMARY:Documentary Screening: The Librarians
DESCRIPTION:LOCATION: Wentz Science Center\, Stevenson Hall\n\nJoin 
 Oesterle Library and the North Central College community for a screening of 
 the 2025 documentary The Librarians. Light refreshments will be served. 
 There will be time after the film to talk about the film with other 
 attendees.\n\nSeats are limited and free registration is required.\n\nAbout 
 the film (from the film website):\n\nLibrarians emerge as first responders 
 in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights. As they well 
 know\, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities.\nIn 
 Texas\, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQia  
 stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an 
 unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate\, librarians connect the dots from 
 heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the 
 underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing 
 harassment\, threats\, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the 
 librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary 
 tale.\n\nOrganized by Oesterle Library\, Shimer Great Books School\, 
 Department of Communication & Media Studies\, and the Center for Social 
 Impact
