WHYY/Indie Lens Pop-Up Community Screenings
Free for All: The Public Library

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 service the public despite working in a contentious age of closures and book bans, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all.

Indie Lens Pop-Up is a neighborhood series that brings people together for film screenings and community-driven conversations.

WHYY will premiere Free for All: The Public Library on April 29, 2025 at 10:00 pm
The film is also available for free streaming April 29, 2025 – July 27, 2025.
