Urban Libraries

The Urban Libraries Council, in partnership with Serendipity Films, will examine how libraries can serve as trusted spaces for open dialogue in times of recovery and rebuilding. The National Forum will feature a preview screening of the completed Free for All documentary prior to its national television broadcast (Fall 2022).This conversation will kick-off a national initiative to foster civic engagement among local government officials, community leaders, and the public and demonstrate the role libraries can play in supporting democracy and ensuring an inclusive COVID-19 recovery.
