McAllen Main Library - Meeting Center - Auditorium

Join us for a screening of Free for All: The Public Library, a documentary about the pioneers and librarians who made public libraries a vital civic institution, despite closures and book bans.

Our feature film 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.
