BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. – The Rockingham Free Public Library and the Friends of the Rockingham Free Public Library, along with numerous other public libraries on both sides of the Connecticut River, have joined together to present a free screening of “The Librarians” at the Bellows Falls Opera House, on Thursday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m.
This timely documentary, winner of the 2026 Emmy Award for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking, follows librarians on the front lines of the growing movement to ban books and restrict access to information in public and school libraries.
Through the stories of librarians, educators, and community members, the film explores the importance of intellectual freedom, the freedom to read, and the role libraries play in protecting the right to access diverse ideas and perspectives.
This event will take place on Thursday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m., at the Bellows Falls Opera House, 7 Village Square, Bellows Falls, Vt., and is free and open to the public. All are welcome.
