"Free For All: The Public Library" Screening and Discussion

At The Broad Theater with Filmmaker Dawn Logsdon

Filmmaker Dawn Logsdon will introduce her new film about public libraries in a debut screening. Filming was done on location at libraries including New Orleans Public Library.

Discussion will follow the free screening. 

Complimentary tickets will be given out beginning at 6pm on a first come first served basis at the Broad Theater.

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 serve the public in a myriad of ways, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all.

Film Director Dawn Logsdon produced, directed, and edited Faubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans, and co-directed Steel and Velvet: The Life of Lindy Boggs. Her editing credits include Jacques Pepin: The Art of Craft, The Weather Underground, Paragraph 175, The Castro, The Vanishing Line, and Have You Heard From Johannesburg among others.

This PBS Indie Lens Pop-Up screening is presented by WYES and Friends of the New Orleans Public Library.
