The La Grange Public Library is celebrating National Library Week by hosting another entry from the PBS Indie Lens Pop Up Series at an After Hours Event on Friday, April 24th at 6:00PM. A discussion panel with local advocates and experts will follow.
The Librarians takes viewers from Texas to Florida and beyond where local libraries have become unexpected battlegrounds in a national struggle over parental control, intellectual freedom and democracy itself.
Panelists include:
• Jennifer Hovanec, La Grange Public, Library Executive Director
• Joanna Marek, Spring Avenue Elementary School Librarian
• Joyce Hagen-McIntosh, Program Director, Freedom to Read Foundation
• Kristin Pekoll, Conference and Continuing Education Manager at the Illinois Library Association
