The Librarians: Censorship Comes for Democracy
Inside the fight over books, schools, and power: A conversation with Kim Snyder, director of The Librarians
Award-winning filmmaker Kim Snyder joins The Electorette to discuss her latest documentary, The Librarians, which examines the nationwide rise in book bans and the political targeting of librarians.
The film follows librarians across the country as they navigate harassment, threats, and mounting political pressure—all while defending access to information in their communities. In this conversation, Snyder breaks down how these censorship efforts are organized, who benefits from them, and why they pose a serious threat to democratic institutions.
The Librarians premieres on February 9th on PBS.
