Screening of the film “The Librarians” – Racine

Across the country, librarians are facing growing pressure over what books can be available on library shelves — particularly books addressing race and other topics at the center of today’s censorship debates.

Racine Interfaith Coalition is cosponsoring a screening of The Librarians during Banned Books Week, a powerful documentary exploring the people on the front lines of these battles and the broader implications of censorship for education, libraries, and public life.

 Thursday, October 8, 2026
 5:00–7:30 p.m.

5:15 p.m. — Film Screening
6:45 p.m. — Community Discussion

 Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., Racine, WI

Refreshments will be served.

Following the film, we’ll come together for a community conversation about how censorship efforts affect our Racine community, the importance of access to information, and the role each of us can play in protecting intellectual freedom.

This event is free and open to the community.

We hope you’ll join us, bring a friend, and be part of the conversation.

Kind Regards,

Walter Herman,RIC President
