    The Librarians, free to watch on PBS
    ====================================

    Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and
    our First Amendment Rights. As they well know, controlling the flow
    of ideas means control over communities.

    In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and
    LGBTQia+ stories--triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots
    from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare
    the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts.
    Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing
    their work--the librarians' rallying cry for freedom to read is a
    chilling cautionary tale.
