Join KEET PBS and the Humboldt County Library for an Indie Lens Pop-Up event of the film, 'Free for All - The Public Library'. This film tells the great story of the quiet rebels who built a civic space where everything is free, and the doors are open to all. Filmmaker Dawn Logsdon travels across the country and uncovers the hidden history of public libraries. Her story highlights the role of women and excluded groups in shaping these vital spaces. The public library as we know it in the United States has been created with care, made accessible to all with struggle, and is defended with a steadfast resolve that continues today.
