SUMMARY:The Librarians: Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 7\, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.\, join us for a special screening of INDEPENDENT LENS’ The Librarians\, the award-winning documentary that The New York Times called “gripping…as well-crafted as it is profoundly alarming.”  This event will take place in the Lenox Town Hall Auditorium\, 6 Walker Street. \nWhen Texas lawmakers seek to review a list of books\, librarians find themselves on the frontlines of a national battle. Across the U.S.\, librarians face the impact of uniting against library collection standards that include restrictions on race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. Drawing on historical context\, The Librarians explores the broader implications for education and public life.  A panel discussion and audience Q&A will follow the screening\, and our friends from The Bookstore will sell a variety of banned books.\n \nPanelists: \nMartin Garnar (he/him) is the director of the Amherst College Library and the editor of the Intellectual Freedom Manual (10th ed.)\, the authoritative reference for librarians for day-to-day guidance on maintaining free and equal access to information for all people. His professional activities and speaking schedule reflect a profound inability to say no. A native New Yorker\, Martin lives in western Massachusetts with his husband Mark and their impossibly cute miniature dachshunds. \nJennifer Guerin (she/her) earned her M.A. in English from Georgetown University and her Master of Library and Information Science from the University of North Texas. She also received her Law for Librarians training from the American Library Association in May 2024 and tries her level best to keep up with Intellectual Freedom issues for the Massachusetts School Library Association.  Jennifer currently serves as Librarian at W.E.B. Du Bois Regional Middle School in Great Barrington\, MA\, where a custodian’s complaint against Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer in a teacher’s classroom made national headlines in 2024. \nColleen AF Venable (she/her/they) is the author of the National Book Award Longlisted Kiss Number 8\, a graphic novel co-created with Ellen T. Crenshaw that has been banned in 11 states. Her other books include the Katie the Catsitter series with Stephanie Yue (banned in Florida and Tennessee)\, Mervin the Sloth is About to Do the Best Thing in The World with Ruth Chan\, The Oboe Goes Boom Boom Boom with Lian Cho\, and the Guinea Pig\, Pet Shop Private Eye series\, also with Stephanie Yue and nominated for the Best Publication for Kids Eisner. Colleen is also the graphic novel adapter of the Junie B. Jones series\, which has lived on the banned list for the last 30+ years. \nColleen is one of the national leaders of Authors Against Book Bans\, a coalition of writers\, illustrators\, anthology editors and contributors\, and other book creators\, who stand united against the deeply unconstitutional movement to limit the freedom to read. Prior to becoming a full-time writer\, she was the sole designer for hundreds of First Second Books\, worked as a Creative Director for Workman and Macmillan\, and the Director for Epic! Kids. Colleen splits her time between North Adams\, MA and Brooklyn\, NY. \n\nAbout Indie Lens Pop-Up\nFor more than 20 years\, the award-winning Indie Lens Pop-Up program has partnered with local organizations across the country to bring people together for film screenings and community-driven conversations.
