On Wednesday, January 28 at 6:00PM, join the Newton Free Library and GBH for an Indie Lens Pop-Up! Hosted at the Library, this event will feature a screening of the Independent Lens documentary "The Librarians," in which librarians across the U.S. examine how book review policies are shaping their communities.

Following the screening will be a panel discussion and Q&A with Malinda Lo, bestselling author and member of Mass Freedom to Read, and Andrea Fiorillo, Co-Chair of the Massachusetts Library Association's Intellectual Freedom/Social Responsibilities Committee. The panel will focus on the state of intellectual freedom and book bans and challenges here in Massachusetts.
