BIG NEWS! You asked, we listened, and now FREE FOR ALL will be available FOR FREE to 1000 qualifying small and rural public libraries! Thanks to the Carnegie Corporation of NY for believing in our film and helping us bring its message of hope and democratic values to America’s most under-resourced libraries. The program launches next week at the 2025 Association of Small & Rural Libraries Annual Conference in Albuquerque, NM. Attend our session on Friday, September 18th, 11:30am-12:30pm in rooms Isleta (19) & Jemez (21) to learn how you can effectively use this film to inform, engage, and motivate your community to keep public libraries free for all.
