I’ve done lots of interviews over the last 4 years, but this chat with “2 Kid Interviews” Abigail & Violet is among the most memorable. They asked such a great question: What’s one scene in @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social you wish everyone in America would see?

Well my library reservation list has grown hugely after watching @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social - every book title mentioned that our library service has I’ve ordered!

Stunned by the Storyville documentary, The librarians. So proud of the US school librarians opposing censorship despite the dangers.

"[Kim A.] Snyder provides the voices of the bookish who brave the front lines of these battles for the sake of their students, demanding that no one party can force their ideas upon another.” - @povmagazine.bsky.social

It’s now on BBC’s Storyville:

Honoured that my ‘Burning the books’ -
the @harvardpress.bsky.social edition - should feature in @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social - a must- see for anyone concerned about the freedom to read and to think - it highlights the courageous libraries defending democracy in America

Kim A. Snyder, director of @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social on ABC News: “It was shocking to learn that criminalization of librarians was something that was actually on the table.”

Had to move today's Worcester Public Library + Worcester Cinema screening of @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social to the main area of the building because the Banx Room wasn't big enough!

Stop by between 2 and 4 pm for postcard writing screenprinting, and more w/ @massaabb.bsky.social!

Every child deserves to see themselves in the stories they read. Teachers and librarians are facing harassment and for defending the #freedomtoread. But they aren’t backing down—they’re standing up for truth, empathy, and every student’s right to learn.

Great selection! Thanks for joining us

‘Some librarians were fired; some received death threats. At one point in the film, a grandfather turns up at a school meeting with a gun to tell the library supporters: “We know what you do. We know where you live.”’

Anna Aslanyan on book bans and censorship: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/oc...

Through to the end of year with more dates being added every week!

Screenings of The Librarians documentary are being held at various locations now through Oct 16!

Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights fighting book bans across the U.S. fueled by White Christian Nationalism.
