April 8, 2025 | 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join Benicia Public Library for an Indie Lens Pop-Up screening of Free for All: The Public Library.

Free for All: Inside the Public Library 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.
