April 8, 5 – 7 p.m., Farber Forum, Jewett Hall

Join UMA Libraries and Lithgow Public Library for a free screening of the PBS Independent Lens documentary, “Free for All: The Public Library.”

“Free for All: The Public Library” tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who made a simple idea happen. From the pioneering women behind the “Free Library Movement” to today’s librarians who service the public despite working in a contentious age of closures and book bans, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all. We look forward to seeing you on April 8, from 5 – 7 p.m., at the Farber Forum, in Jewett Hall, 46 University Drive, Augusta.
