The Cresson Public Library will host a free special PBS documentary film screening from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 29, at Mount Aloysius College Cosgrave Student Center “Free for All: The Public Library” chronicles the evolution of the nation’s public libraries, tracing the battles over who can enter, what belongs there and who makes these decisions, while exploring how public spaces are defined and defended. Director Dawn Logsdon charts the trajectory of the library, from America’s original Free Library Movement that began in the mid-19th century to current struggles in a digital age amidst budget cuts, closures and book bans.

Following the film, there will be a moderated discussion and Q&A session. Light snacks will be provided. 32 seats available. To RSVP, call the Cresson Public Library at 814-886-2619 or register via the library website.
