If you haven't heard, there's a new film in theaters called The Public. Emilio Estavez stars as a librarian at the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County who interacts daily with a large group of homeless visitors, culminating in a weather crisis that really tests the limits of the public library's role. This is a realistic view of the challenges faced in an urban library setting, and a love letter to public libraries and our defense of democracy and those in need.
Watch your local theater schedules for showings soon- already playing in Evanston.
In the meantime, here are some PSAs from Emilio.
National Library Week is April 7-13! We'll be bringing around a little gift for everyone to thank you for all you do! For the public, we'll offer our annual Food for Fines program, a bookmark contest, our popular Escape Room, and a Family Adventure after-hour program. See all the events here.
