Award Winning Documentary “The Librarians” Screening on May 2
The Esperanza Center and the League of Woman Voters are collaborating to host a screening of the award-winning documentary, “The Librarians”. This film is a chilling, timely and deeply moving story about nine passionate and courageous librarians on the front lines of the wave of censorship and book banning in school libraries. The group of ordinary citizens risks their jobs and personal safety to resist the wave of book censorship that started in Texas in 2021 with the “Krause List”. The list was created by a Texas legislator with the intention to pressure school libraries in Texas to remove 850 books with content focused on racism, LGBT issues and sexuality.
