    SRSU Library and Archives to host June 5 screening of ‘FREE FOR ALL: The Public Library’

    The Sul Ross State University Library and Archives will host a screening of “Free for All: The Public Library” in a partnership with Basin PBS and the Granada Theatre on Thursday, June 5. The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6 p.m.

    The event is a production of Indie Lens Pop-Up and INDEPENDENT LENS. A conversation with representatives from tri-county libraries will follow the film.

    “Free for All” tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all. Director Dawn Logsdon traveled the U.S. discovering historic and modern-day figures who have contributed to the library’s integral position within democracy while chronicling 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 commons are defined and defended. The film debuted on April 29, 2025, on PBS and the PBS app.

    About Indie Lens Pop-Up Indie Lens Pop-Up is a community series that brings people together for film screenings and conversations. Featuring documentaries seen on PBS’s INDEPENDENT LENS, Indie Lens Pop-Up draws local residents, leaders, and organizations to discuss what matters most. Learn more at pbs.org/indielenspopup.
