The documentary 'The Librarians' sheds light on the alarming trend of book banning in U.S. schools, intensified by the Covid-19 pandemic. Directed by Kim A. Snyder, it follows librarians facing severe backlash for resisting the removal of books deemed inappropriate by conservative forces. The film delves into the importance of these books, which often cover race, gender, and LGBTQ+ issues, and highlights the personal costs to librarians who prioritize students' right to information over political agendas. Notably, Florida's new laws criminalizing librarians for defying book bans illustrate the growing tensions surrounding educational content in America.
"Every book that was on that shelf was like telling a student we want to put you behind locks,' she says in the film."},{
